Continue your stroll into the city centre, where you’ll be greeted by breathtaking architecture with the Notre-Dame de Strasbourg cathedral. Wander around it to admire its incredible details and decorative features and marvel at the countless secrets hidden in its carvings. Keep going until you reach our store on Rue du Dôme, where you an discover our heart-shaped gingerbread. The perfect addition to quality time together, share our gingerbread whilst enjoying a river cruise on the Ill, where you can admire the covered bridges and the majestic cathedral all lit up once the sun has set.

For dinner, treat yourselves to a visit to the iconic Kammerzell restaurant and discover the authentic flavours of Alsace cuisine.

An exceptional day exploring Colmar and its surroundings

Wonderfully romantic, the many canalboats glide along the Lauch to take you to a neighbourhood that looks like it’s been taken straight out of a fairytale. Enjoy a romantic stroll along the canals or wander through the little cobbled streets lined with beautiful, colourful houses. Plus, you’ll almost certainly pass by our store on Quai de la Poissonnerie, where you can discover our pâtissiers’ exclusive creation for Valentine’s Day: the Heart-shaped butter biscuit. This biscuit is all about the perfect harmony, with a buttery texture that exquisitely brings out the sweet vanilla, intense chocolate, and its delicate yet decadent caramel notes. A heart for sharing with the person with a special place in yours, perfect for a sweet treat as you continue your escapade.

In the midst of the tiny streets, each and every one brimming with picturesque charm, visit the Place de la Cathédrale or the Pfister House which give you an insight into Colmar’s medieval history. Nearby, you may even catch the irresistible scent wafting out of our Cathédrale store.
