  • Strasbourg petit france and city

    Dec 10–14, 2024 in France ⋅ ☁️ 6 °C

    We both slept pretty well and enjoyed a hotel breakfast before setting off for the day.
    We joined the long queue for the Cathedral and had a good look round. I also got my Pilgrim Passport stamped this time. We then headed off to visit Petit France, the oldest part of the city. Valerie took several photos. On our way back, we stopped at The Coffee Stop, where I had a great breakfast on my first visit in May. We had Chocolat Viennois and cake!
    A little retail therapy and a warm in Les Halles left us both somewhat poorer.
    Back in the city, we had a wander round the Market in Place Kleber, Broglie- where we had mulled wine with spices- and popped into another church, that had the story of Strasbourg during the war.
    After hunting round for a restaurant for tonight to no avail, we trudged back to the Hotel. Just round the corner from the hotel, we spotted a restaurant. We are booked in for 7pm and will eat whatever they have to
    😊

  • Last day in Strasbourg

    December 12, 2024 in France ⋅ ☁️ 5 °C

    We had a lazy start this morning. Set off at around 10.30 and wandered along some
    New streets until we arrived at Broglie Xmas market. We purchased a day ticket for the trams and spent a couple of hours doing hop on and hop off see the outer parts of the city. Enjoyed more chocolat viennois, and then began the hunt for things to bring home.
    After another trip round the Cathedral we returned to the hotel to rest our limbs, joints etc before the walk to our chosen restaurant for dinner. After dinner, we took many photos of the Xmas lights until our fingers froze with the cold!!
    We are now in a nice warm room thawing out.
    The pics are of the fa b lights cathedral etc.
