Malgré les affrontements à travers les âges, la ville a su conserver ses richesses architecturales exceptionnelles qui lui ont valu le classement au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO. Une première pour l'intégralité d'un centre-ville. La gastronomie alsacienne est bien connue pour la choucroute bien sûr, ou les flammekueche mais il y a aussi la tarte à l'oignon, le baeckeoffe, les spaetzle, le munster, le kougelhopf... bière et vin cohabitent d'ailleurs harmonieusement, avec ces plats.

We like Strasbourg in general, not just that area, but because it was the center of the European Union and many other European organizations. Influenced by both German and French architecture and has a fascinating history. What we like most about it were the storks nest, LOTS & LOTS of them. They keep coming back at the same nest, during spring, and fly south for the winter.
