Wettolsheim Flea Market

A Flea Market at the Foot of the Vosges

The Wettolsheim Flea Market welcomes collectors and flea market enthusiasts every year in this charming wine-growing village in the Vosges foothills, located less than five kilometers west of Colmar. The event takes place outdoors in the village, taking advantage of the exceptional natural setting offered by Wettolsheim, nestled between the first heights of the Vosges and the Alsatian wine plain.

Wettolsheim, a Wine Village Near Colmar

With approximately 1,800 inhabitants, Wettolsheim is a typical commune in the Alsatian vineyards, whose cellars produce renowned wines under the Alsace appellation. The village is backed by the first reliefs of the Vosges and offers splendid views of the Alsatian plain and the wine hills. Its location a few minutes from Colmar makes it a prime stopover, easily accessible from the capital of Alsatian wines and its surroundings.

Generalist Flea Market in the Heart of the Village

The Wettolsheim flea market is an open, generalist event where everyone can find something they like. The exhibitors, a mix of individuals clearing out their cellars and attics and professional dealers, offer a wide variety of items: clothing and textiles (children's, adults', vintage), furniture and decoration, tableware and table arts, trinkets and collectible items, books, records, old postcards, toys and childcare items, tools and various equipment. The Alsatian flea market, rich in the region's tradition of digging and antique fairs, is found here in all its diversity.

Conviviality and Authentic Alsatian Setting

Held outdoors at the end of June, the market generally benefits from good summer weather, which encourages strolling and encounters. Visitors from Colmar and neighboring villages find in this market an opportunity to spend a pleasant morning browsing, far from the hustle and bustle of the big city. The convivial atmosphere of Alsatian fairs is present, with often a refreshment stand provided by the organizing association. The village itself, with its half-timbered houses and flowered alleys, offers a pleasant setting for a walk before or after the market.

A Local Event

The Wettolsheim flea market is above all a village event, organized by and for the local residents and associations. It contributes to the social and cultural life of the commune, while attracting an external audience charmed by the setting and the exhibitors' offerings. It is the type of event that embodies the charm of rural Alsace: simple, authentic, welcoming.
