Grand'Rue, Medieval street in Colmar, France
The Grand'Rue extends for 500 meters through the center of Colmar, featuring rows of traditional Alsatian buildings with painted facades and timber framing patterns.
This central avenue has maintained its original layout since the 13th century when Colmar received its status as a Free Imperial City under Emperor Frederick II.
Local artisans display their crafts in workshops along Grand'Rue, continuing centuries-old traditions of woodworking, pottery making, and textile production.
Visitors can access Grand'Rue from the Colmar train station by taking a 10-minute walk north through Place Rapp and following the tourist signs.
The street contains the House of the Knights of Saint John, a 16th-century building decorated with renaissance medallions and intricate stone carvings.
