Our trip took us to Colmar, a town in the Grand Est region of northeastern France, near the border with Germany.

Spices at the market in Colmar.
Like most towns, Colmar has a Saturday market. This one is indoors, in a building designed by architect Louis-Michel Blotz in 1865. Local products, fruits, vegetables, meats, and more are only part of the attraction. Located inside and spilling outside to the Lauch River is a bar and terrace.

Shop for your produce and stop for a drink. Coffee, wine, or both…

The market building is located at 13 rue des Ecoles, in Colmar.
