A 19th-century brick market hall on the canal, with local food stalls.
Address: 13 Rue des Écoles, 68000 Colmar
The Marché Couvert was built in 1865 in brick, iron and glass, in the style of the great covered markets of the 19th century. Its back opens onto the river Lauch, so market gardeners could unload their vegetables straight from their boats.
After restoration in 2010 it reopened as a lively food hall, with stands selling Munster cheese, bretzels, kougelhopf cakes, charcuterie and fresh produce, plus small counters where you can eat on the spot.
