Marché des Petits Producteurs d'Alsace

The Marché des Petits Producteurs d'Alsace, also known as Les Irréductibles Petits Producteurs d'Alsace, offers an authentic Christmas market experience at Square Louise Weiss in Strasbourg's picturesque Petite France district. This intimate market stands apart from larger commercial venues by featuring exclusively local Alsatian farmers and artisans who produce and sell their own goods, creating a genuine farm-to-table holiday shopping experience. Established in 2000 and relocated to Square Louise Weiss in recent years, this charming market brings together approximately a dozen chalets surrounded by water and the iconic covered bridges, creating an idyllic setting that feels like stepping into a traditional Alsatian village. Visitors discover regional treasures including biodynamic wines from family vineyards like Domaine Loew, artisanal charcuterie and foie gras from Ferme Goettelmann, honey and propolis products from local beekeepers, handcrafted jams from Confitures du Climont, and authentic Alsatian bredle cookies. The market emphasizes direct interaction with passionate producers who share stories about their centuries-old family traditions and sustainable farming practices. The atmosphere is warm and convivial, with a central brasero providing both heat and ambiance as evening falls. Unlike the bustling main markets, this location offers a more relaxed, authentic experience where quality trumps quantity. The Village de l'Avent adjacent to the market features family-friendly activities, workshops, and entertainment. Plan to spend time tasting before purchasing, as sampling is encouraged and helps you discover the finest regional specialties to bring home.
