So here in the US there are some cities/towns that look rather European, whether it happened because of European emigrants moving in, or the creation of a tourist trap. Those who want to chime in and propose cities, make sure they are out side of Europe.
So what does this town of 2,000 people remind you of from an architectural point of view. Or is this to stereotypical and nothing like this exists in Europe.
Looks like it should look like. Alpine architecture found commonly in old villages in that region. Some might well remind of Czech and Slovak houses in the Western Carpathians.
This one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayrhofen in Austria? well it does look a lot like it but Leavenworth is not as big. Also interesting Leavenworth also has a train station (pretty small, just a platform) and has ski resorts nearby as well.

It's a tourist trap.
This "town" consists of two/three streets only, with "Alpine architecture."
What a disappointment))))
I don't think that the French Quarter looks particularly French, but it definitely has its own charm and doesn't look like a newly built tourist trap at all. I'd definitely go there.
Okay so I guess there is a pretty clear consensus that these are tourist traps. What about the French quarter in New Orleans?
Oh that's so cool! *.*
It doesn't look French to me but it's still very beautiful.
