The OFF Market

Established for the first time in 2016, the OFF Market is the ideal place to foster dialogue between consumption and commitment. With its containers serving as chalets, it brings together actors from the social economy, solidarity, and environmentally friendly practices.

Vintage furniture, thrifted items, customized clothing, original creations from local artisans, books, second-hand toys, organic food… everything here is unique and ethical!

Place Grimmeissen is fully engaged: you can take the time to savor organic dishes or those from fair trade and enjoy a particularly rich program of activities, including weekly events (such as workshops for children or civic discussions) and exciting themed days.

At the OFF Market, people come to engage, linger to find responsible gifts, and stay to dine on a tarte flambée and a good ethical mulled wine*!

*For your health, avoid snacking between meals. Excessive alcohol consumption is harmful to health.
