THE FISHMONGER'S DISTRICT, Colmar
The fishmonger's district is where most of Colmar's professional fishermen and boatmen lived. They were part of a powerful corporation. The fish caught were stored in fish ponds or sold in the fishmonger's district. In 1706, a huge fire destroyed more than forty houses in the district. From 1978 to 1981, major renovation work made it possible to restore many of the half-timbered houses in this district, which lies between the Tanneurs district and the picturesque Little Venice.

The old town is enormous. It's best to take a ride on the Petit Train Touristique (the green train for sightseeing tours) and then walk to wherever you like best. You can also take a 25-minute boat ride from "Little Venice"—no, not a gondola, but one with a quiet electric motor.

The market hall is also located here, and a visit to it is an absolute must.
