Markets Lorraine

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.

Perfect for cutting out the middleman, farmers' markets are a unique opportunity to meet with around twenty local producers offering fresh, quality produce. Launched in 2013, they have been a resounding success ever since. The town of Ensisheim has planned a series of free events to extend the market experience, with music provided by the Accordion Club. From know-how transfer to environmental awareness workshops, tastings and games, there's plenty of fun and learning to be had at the market!

Bring a big basket, even on Sundays, and a big appetite, if you eat there. It is one of the most important markets of the Lorraine gastronomy.
