They come out of the oven hot all day long. A pure delight! And for small and large events, the catering service is a hit.

Madeleines come in plain, chocolate, bergamot and mirabelle plum flavors... and have made the town famous. Not to be missed.

But it is not a simple wine shop, since the renovation of the adjacent buildings in noble materials. Superb buildings that also house exhibitions from time to time.

The Halmar market was built in 1865. Its location on the edge of the Lauch once allowed the garners to move their goods onto flat-bottom barks and unload them directly at the gates designed for this purpose. Today, this fine example of Second Empire architecture with its bricks and columns serves as a framework for a beautiful covered market where twenty exhibitors take their souls in a vast space dedicated as much to the sale of goods as to conviviality: butchers, stealth, baker, cheese, fish harvester, pastry maker, Italian caterer, Italian caterer, Alsatian specialties, farm products, Alsace wines, spirits… The covered market leads to a healthy return to rhythmic proximity to the seasons by local products of quality that blend with various flavors of the world. There is also the embarrassment of choice on site or to take away: Pretzels and sandwiches, bustling pie, good soups and vegetarian dishes, Tunisian or Vietnamese specialties… One of the establishments has a large terrace above the Lauch. Finally: every first Friday of the month, the covered market of Colmar hosts concerts (pop, rock, blues, rap, salsa, song…) as part of Stage Off.

It's common practice in Alsace to recommend wine cellars, but it's far more original to discover a white gold cellar. Since 1979, the Antony family has been developing the taste for exceptional cheeses for two generations. They select the best cheeses from most regions of France, and "raise" them, as Bernard Anthony likes to put it: "Rather than affineur, we like to think of ourselves as Éleveur de fromages, because our task is akin to bringing up a child. Giving them the attention, the care, and the opportunity to express themselves fully. (...) Nature plays an essential role, and each child, like each terroir, is different, each with its own personality. It's up to us to understand them and lead them along the path to excellence All over the world, from Paris to Hong Kong, via New York and Berlin, these little treasures, carefully matured in Ferrette's seven maturing cellars, are known and recognized! Many renowned chefs entrust Maison Antony with the selection of their cheese platters, in order to ensure the authenticity of their exceptional products. Bernard and Jeanine are keen to share their taste for good things with you, and offer a "Cheese Ceremony" upon reservation. More than just a tasting session, they invite you to understand what makes the maturing process at this great House so unique!

Since its creation in 2013, the brewery defends an alternative mode of production aiming to privilege quality raw materials, short circuits and local partnerships.

For your events, think about renting taps and for an outing with friends, a visit with tasting.
