Small general aviation gateway to Alsace's wine country.

Location
Colmar, France
Colmar Houssen Airport (IATA: CMR, ICAO: LFGA) is a small regional airport located in Houssen, just north of Colmar in the Alsace region of northeastern France. It primarily serves general aviation traffic, including private and business flights, and hosts occasional charter operations. The airport sits in the Upper Rhine plain near the German border, making it convenient for travelers visiting the Alsace wine route and the historic city of Colmar.

City & Place Guide

Alsace's fairy-tale capital of half-timbered houses and fine wine.

Colmar is a beautifully preserved medieval city in the Alsace region of northeastern France, straddling the border of French and German culture. Its pastel-colored, timber-framed buildings, canal-laced neighborhoods, and flower-draped bridges make it one of the most photogenic cities in Europe.

The city is also a gateway to the Alsatian Wine Route, offering easy access to renowned Riesling and Gewurztraminer vineyards. Despite its small size, Colmar punches well above its weight in art, cuisine, and architecture, drawing visitors year-round.

  • •Petite Venise — charming canal quarter lined with colorful Renaissance houses and flower-covered bridges.
  • •Unterlinden Museum — world-class art museum housing Matthias Grünewald's masterpiece, the Isenheim Altarpiece.
  • •Koifhus (Old Customs House) — iconic 15th-century civic building at the heart of the old town.
  • •Rue des Marchands — picturesque merchant street showcasing Colmar's finest half-timbered facades.
  • •Bartholdi Museum — birthplace of the Statue of Liberty sculptor, filled with original models and works.
  • •Alsatian Wine Route — nearby villages and vineyards offering tastings of world-renowned white wines.

Getting around: Colmar's compact old town is best explored on foot. The city has a free shuttle bus linking key districts, and cycling is popular thanks to flat terrain and rental services. Trains connect Colmar to Strasbourg in about 30 minutes and to Basel in around 40. Taxis and rideshares are available but rarely necessary within the center.

Best time: Late spring (May–June) and the harvest season (September–October) offer pleasant weather and lively atmosphere, while the famous Christmas market in December transforms the city into a magical winter destination.

Local food: Try tarte flambée (Flammekueche), choucroute garnie, baeckeoffe stew, and locally produced Riesling or Crémant d'Alsace wines at any traditional winstub.
