FERBER FRANCIS

This is undoubtedly a must-visit for anyone who loves French desserts while exploring Colmar and nearby towns. Beyond their world-renowned jams, they offer exquisite homemade pastries. The tarts are delightful, and the fruit-filled Flan Pâtissier is the best I’ve ever tasted! As a bonus, they generously gifted me four pieces of handmade chocolate after I purchased 82 euros worth of chocolates and jams. I will definitely return!

Coming to this shop is always an experience. The town truly reminds me of the childhood story of Hansel & Gretal and the witch’s house made of colourful candy. And after walking the street past the cellars of various Vignerons Indépendants, and passing the prettiest house I have set eyes on, you arrive at Christine Ferber’s Maison, stare at what’s in the window displays before entering to a friendly greeting from the helpful shop staff and overwhelmed by the choice of confiture (this is when I get the phone out and message the missus, “So what will it be?” - because we all know the wife is always right 😉 Today was no different except it was busier than usual with folks coming to buy Easter chocolate (eggs, rabbits and more). Was quite restrained; just three bottles, a bag of dark chocolate Easter eggs and an eclair (as my youngest would say, “Don’t judge me!”) For those who know the poem Out to Old Aunt Mary’s by James Whitcomb Riley, it has that nostalgia of boyhood memories, Granny’s scones and simpler times for me. Do visit. It just might back a memory for you.

Took a short ride from Colmar to this quaint village where you’ll find the most exquisite jams and other treats. The Christmas jam by Christine is so good but the highlight had to be meeting her in person. She was so gracious and kind enough to see my pastry chef friend who took her class in the US twenty years ago. Thank you for this memorable visit ❤️

Very nice place full of heart. Helpful people work here. Bakery is absolutely amazing and everything we tried tasted like a dream. The Marmelade is outstanding. Also the pottery that is sold here is worth a look. Don’t miss out!

We bought a "tarte au fromage blanc" and it was very delicious, as well as the rhubarb pie. Very nice staff as well and rhe shop itself is very cozy.

It’s a fairy-tale atmosphere in the shop. Shop ladies are very friendly and polite. Be prepared at least 30minutes to spend your time in the shop because there’re so many items to see, not to mention you don’t read French!

Simply the best jams of the world 😁. So many flavours to try, I wish my suitcase would be bigger! Lovely village to visit as well.

Best products and excellent customer service. The staff is so nice. Highly recommended.
