Visiting Riquewihr gives you an idea of what it must have been like to stand in the market square of an early modern French town in the 16th century. Some half-timbered houses in Riquewihr are even older. Some constructions date back to the 13th century.

According to tradition, in those days the color of each house had to reflect the occupation of its owner: yellow for bakers, green for market gardeners and textile makers, red for butchers and farriers... and blue for fishmongers. This has brought the variety of colors to the village.
