Many cobblestone mosaics can be found throughout Freiburg im Breisgau. Most mosaics are embedded in the cobblestone pavement of the city center of Freiburg. The older mosaics are commonly attributed to the paver Alois Krems. His work was inspired by pavings that he had seen in southern France. More cobblestone mosaics were added during the 1970s when the old city of Freiburg was turned into a pedestrian zone.

Nice interior and gift shop.

I was looking for a store that sold christmas themed items and traditional "smoke men" (or german incense smokers). My search ended when I came across their website (http://www.pegasus-zuerich.ch/). While most things are pretty pricey, you can't beat the quality and beauty of the gifts. If you're looking for something a bit different and less touristy to bring home to family and friends, this store is a must visit! I can't wait to go back again and see what treasures I can find.

What a pleasant surprise this gift shop was! Spread across several floors were a multitude of…read moreknick-knacks and gift items, ranging from the unique to the more typical tourist kitsch. However unlike other shops we visited, the isles at Casa Grande felt wider than most other stores, everything was very neat and well organized, and the establishment was fastidiously clean. Overall we found the staff to be polite, friendly, and fluently multi-lingual. Best of all, almost everything was reasonably priced! Two items of special praise for the inventory at Casa Grande: their selection of chocolate bars was expansive (we purchased several multi-packs), and they had virtually every model of Swiss Army Knife in stock with on-site engraving available (we got one for every member of the family). Additionally the store had very nice, free restrooms.
