Five Christmas Markets in Colmar
The traditional Christmas Markets of Colmar, on different squares, are for me a standard of what a Christmas market should be:
A glitter of decorations and magic lightings,
Products responding to art and tradition qualitative criteria.
In Colmar regional craftsmanship, local products and the traditional cakes, pastries and confectionary of Christmas are indeed promoted.
The five markets with their small market houses are like mini villages where it is pleasant to walk. They have their own identity.
1° The Christmas market located on the “Place des Dominicains” is dominated by the 14th century church with magnificent stained-glass windows illuminated at nightfall.
2° The market which is inside the “Koïfhus” presents in its ceremonial rooms art objects in a historical medieval setting.
3° Outside the Koïfhus is the one located on “Place de l’Ancienne Douane” along the river.
4° The market on the “Place Jeanne d’Arc” offers a selection of handcrafted and local food products.
5° In the Petite Venise district is a market dedicated to children with a lot of gifts, sweets and animations.
