A gourmet Christmas

Hone your baking skills at the Maison du Pain
in Sélestat

In Sélestat, the Bread Museum of Alsace is buzzing with a festive atmosphere in the run up to the holidays. The Christmas Bakery has transformed into a great family kitchen. Come and prepare some bredeles, and then discover the history of bread at the museum!

Sign up for the hands-on workshop

Make some delicious christmas cookies: a date and a place! Shortbread, pretzels, stars, macaroons, “tuiles”, spritz, meringues, checkerboards: with so many recipes to choose from, which one will we make? We listen to the directions and follow the steps to a T.

It takes a lot of work, but time flies when you're having fun, and the bredeles are quickly ready to go into the oven. We grab a hot drink in the tearoom while a buttery aroma fills the bakery.

Visit the museum

In the old stove of the baker's federation dating back to 1522, Alsace's Maison du Pain presents the history of bread: agriculture, milling, bakers of yesteryear, and more.

Can we see collectables? Of course. And learn about the ancestral know-how of bakers? That's the whole point of the visit! Take a tour of Alsatian specialties? Definitely!

The visit is even better while enjoying biscuits, gingerbread, or a mannele!

Take a break in the tearoom

The Maison du Pain is also the perfect spot to take a break from Christmas shopping or from visiting Sélestat. Warm up with a coffee or tea and savour delicious products straight from the oven.

Can you point us to the bakers' shop? We need one or two little things. All right, three or four.
