Strasbourg, France

Strasbourg France

Perched right on the German border, the sophisticated city of Strasbourg has been passed back and forth between Germany and France for centuries. Today, it stands as a symbol of reconciliation between nations. In 1955, it was chosen as the seat of the European Parliament. Despite its cosmopolitan nature, Strasbourg remains thoroughly Alsatian in appearance, with its half-timbered houses, covered bridges, and flower-lined canals. Begin your tour at the mesmerising Gothic cathedral, whose light, open spire rises above the historic core of the city. While you wait for the delightful play of the horloge astronomique, or astrological clock, be sure to see the Pilier des Anges, one of the high points of Gothic sculpture. Across from the cathedral is the elegant 18th-century Château des Rohan, which houses a porcelain, archaeology, and fine arts museum, as well as the Maison de l’Oeuvre Notre-Dame, a vast collection of medieval and Renaissance art. For a taste of folklore, visit the Musée Alsacien. During the summer, there are folklore and music programs, and a walk along the quays of La Petite France, the old quarter, is best enjoyed on a warm summer night. Savour the delicious Alsatian cuisine in one of the many riverside restaurants.
