Quai de la Poissonerie, Waterfront viewpoint in Colmar, France
The Quai de la Poissonerie features a row of traditional half-timbered houses along the Lauch River, creating reflections in the water below.
During the Middle Ages, this district formed a powerful corporation of fishermen and boatmen who stored their catches in nearby ponds for distribution.
The area maintains its original architectural character through preserved wooden structures that demonstrate the regional building techniques of Alsace.
Visitors can access the viewpoint without entrance fees and take boat tours from April through October to see the district from the water.
The district experienced a large fire in 1706 that destroyed forty houses, leading to reconstruction efforts that shaped its current appearance.
