Gérardmer, France
In Faymont in Le Val-d'Ajol you will find the factory and kitchen accessories store of the famous brand "De Buyer". A short stop is always worthwhile, especially because many articles are not available or only with difficulty.
After that Gérardmer is not very far from Switzerland, and in this area you will find the famous stores for linen like "Garnier-Thiebaut" and "Le Jacquard Français". Here you will also discover quality that is hard to get or at very overpriced prices.
Colmar, “La Petite Venise”, France
Finally, a detour via Colmar, where a visit to the covered market built in 1865 is an absolute must. Traders display wonderful products such as meat, cheese and vegetables for sale.
