Leisure. What's on this weekend around Colmar?
Dancing, sailing, concerts, and a charity egg hunt... There's definitely something for everyone and every age this weekend in the Colmar region when it comes to leisure and cultural activities. Take your pick!
The Colmar Rhine Nautical Club, an association founded in 1961, is holding its open day this Sunday, May 11, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
"We're far from everything, we have to make ourselves known," says Christian Illinger, a member for 25 years, proud to present a nautical base completely renovated in 2020 .
Visitors to the Geiskopf base will be able to enjoy sailing dinghies, small boats up to 8 meters long. The duration will depend on the number of visitors and the wind. Qualified members of the club will be at the helm for safety reasons.
On the other hand, equipped with a life jacket, everyone will be able to independently test canoes, kayaks, or paddleboards, and take their first sail. The public will also be able to discover the Ingersheim club's model ship building and its small remote-controlled sailboats.
Another first, the Andolsheim artist Éric Kauffmann will exhibit sculptures of sailboats made from recycled metal, measuring around 80 cm.
A free day
All day activities are free, only the snacks (mainly tartes flambées) and the refreshment bar are chargeable.

The first Peace Week continues in Sigolsheim. Conceived by the local history society, the event "is an opportunity to 'celebrate,' so to speak, the 60th anniversary of the necropolis and the 80th anniversary of the Liberation," explains Claude Dietrich, one of the association's members.
The final four days of the event, which kicked off on Tuesday, begin this Thursday at 9 a.m. with a visit to the Lost Company camp, an association that organizes historical reenactment camps, which will have spent the night at the necropolis.
