Day trip to Colmar
During your stay in Alsace, don't miss out on discovering Colmar nestled in the heart of the vineyards in Haut-Rhin.
You will be charmed by the oldest city in Alsace, also called Little Venice thanks to its many canals.
Colmar is worth a visit every season, as much for its pretty half-timbered houses as for its picturesque streets and its gourmet gastronomy.
Start your visit towards the Little Venice district crossed by many flower-filled canals.
Take the quay of the fish market, which once housed the fishermen of Colmar, to the Turenne and Saint-Pierre bridge to admire the view. It's a favorite spot for photographers!
From here, you also have the option of taking a ride on a flat-bottomed boat.
The opportunity to sail on the Lauch and admire the city along the water to the Maraîchers district.
Appreciate the charm of this authentic place thanks to the boatman's guided tour (25 minutes).
You can see many bourgeois houses like the Maison Pfister and its magnificent corner bay window or the Maison des Têtes decorated with 111 masks, without forgetting the Maison Adolf, the oldest.
Look up to see the sculpted medallions or the bay windows on the facade.
All year round, as soon as night falls, Colmar is transformed into a postcard setting thanks to an original lighting scheme.
If you have time, take a detour to the Unterlinden Museum which sums up the architectural and artistic prestige of the city and admire the Isenheim Altarpiece.
Alsace is a land of gastronomy and Colmar is no exception to the rule.
Here are some dishes that you absolutely must taste in one of the restaurants on the Grand Rue or Vieux Colmar:
You can also visit the Maison Alsacienne de Biscuit, the Fortwenger boutique famous for its gingerbread and Uncle Hansi's market.
On the first floor of the latter, you will find a museum dedicated to Jean Jacques Waltz, known as "Hansi", where many of the artist's works are exhibited.
You will even have the opportunity to take a detour to the Wolfberger cellars or the wine estate of the city of Colmar.
After this busy day, return to the comfort of your room at Au Tilleul. Estelle, Jacques and their teams look forward to welcoming you in a cozy and peaceful setting.
Drop off your bags in one of our air-conditioned and comfortable rooms.
All are equipped with a shower or bathtub to relax after your getaway. Some of them can accommodate up to 4 people if you are traveling with your family.
Extend this moment of relaxation in the hotel's lounge area to enjoy a glass of Alsace wine or a Météor beer.
