Pont st-Pierre

About this audio guide

This guide to Pont Saint-Pierre in Colmar centers on the fishermen's guild that once controlled this stretch of the Lauch canal, in the city's Petite Venise district. You will hear how the corporation of fishermen and boatmen policed who could fish, when, and where the catch had to be sold, and how the neighboring tanners' trade shaped the district around them. Look for the color of the houses lining the canal as you listen.
