We’d been looking forward to getting to France but we were also wondering if France was going to let us down, as we had had such a great time in Paris in 2005.
Fortunately, Strasbourg is a cool little town and as we found, the French people continued to be very friendly and France was reaffirmed as Samantha and Dave’s number one tourist destination of choice!
Congratulations France!
Strasbourg is a mixture of French and German as the town had continually changed hands for many centuries before finally staying in French hands in 1861 or thereabouts.
Street names, restaurant menus and much of the architecture, is German, which made
it quite a cosmopolitan town. It also houses the European Union Parliament, so there is a decent mix of people there.
There is a massive Cathedral there, plus loads of typically French styled buildings and churches.
There is also a river, as always, featuring fine European bridges to take loads of photos of.
Nothing major stands out in Strasbourg, but it is a very nice place to spend a few days....as is the case for pretty much anywhere in France!
