Founded in 1985, on the initiative of Coluche, the Restaurants du Coeur - Les Relais du Coeur by its official name - have never stopped working, helping and providing voluntary assistance to the most disadvantaged, particularly in the food sector. Thanks to the generosity of the public and the work of our volunteers, everyone contributes in their own way to helping the most disadvantaged get by...

The Colmar branch of Restos du Coeur distributes meal baskets for people to cook at home, as well as a resto Bébés du Coeur, a place for babies aged 0 to 12 months to receive material aid (clothes, diapers and childcare and hygiene products). Other initiatives include a weekly knitting workshop and, more recently, access to a hairdressing salon, enabling the most underprivileged to regain their self-confidence with a haircut, a change that facilitates professional reintegration. The Restos du Coeur's missions are expanding, and kind-hearted souls can get involved as volunteers or make a donation. Call the Restos du Coeur center in Colmar or visit the website!

Founded in Colmar in 1973, the Hope Association is a humanitarian action movement and a reflection group to address the disastrous effects of the social divide that penalizes the most disadvantaged.

Human trip works on the respect of the visited regions and cultures and on the associative commitment: it is at the same time a travel agency and an association. The agency gives back to the association a part of its results, which allows it to carry out development projects, in priority in favour of children (schooling and education).

A nice solution to really approach the culture of Nepal or other countries.

L'Accorderie's operating principle is based on a local exchange currency called "accordes", which represents one hour of service. When a member provides a service to another member, he or she earns "accordes" which can then be used to receive services from other members.

So, if you need help fixing your bike, cooking a special meal, or even learning a new language, you're sure to find an Accorderie member to help you.

Even though it is not possible to quote all the sports activities proposed in Lorraine, we cannot overlook an activity which is continuing to grow and which is perfect for tourism, in other words: golf. Lorraine has no fewer than fifteen golf courses, two of which have only 9 holes. Distributed throughout the territory, it can be noted that the Moselle alone benefits from almost half of these facilities. For some years there has been a network of the name Holigreen, with a unique map giving access to 6 golf courses in eastern France, three of them in Lorraine, Faulquemont, Metz Technopôle and Nancy Pulnoy. Bitche, Troyes East Forest and Châlons-en-Champagne complete the network. The pleasures of sports performance and those of the eyes are varied.

Association Le Pays-du-Chalot. This small wooden building, resembling a hut, was a dependence on the Vosgian farm. Small, with wooden walls and walls and its lava roof, the chalk is typical of the ajolais landscape and the neighboring department of the Vosges, Haute-Saône. These dependencies are spread over 6 communes: Val-d 'Ajol, the Girmont-Val-d' Ajol, Plumbers-les-Bains, Fougerolles, Saint-Bresson and Radon-et-Chapendu. They used to store grain, flour, bread or meats. The fruit was also fermented to make it alcohol. In 1994, the association of the country of Chalot was born, precisely to preserve this unique heritage which slowly disappeared. Today, there are only a few dozen of these specimens left. The oldest date of 1618, but archives of 1575 already mention this small building. And since the birth of this dynamic association, a real renovation work, but also awareness, has been made to the public to make this part of our history known. It is possible to see one in the Girmont-Val-d 'Ajol, which in the summer installs its tourist house and in Ruaux (Deviation of Plumbers) where Marie-Noëlle Bresson, guide for the commune, makes it discover his own chalk to tourists. They will be able to discover local products and crafts.
