Strasbourg

We began the day with……you guessed it, a walking tour!!
Once again, so informative, and we saw so much more than we would’ve by just wandering on our own.

The mix between French and German influences is so incredibly strong. My favourite part is Petite France, such a photogenic place! Seeing the lochs from above was also interesting.

For lunch today we ate at a German pub and had tart flambee with munster cheese!!

We found our way back to Barrage Vauban (an enclosed bridge where you could climb up onto the roof) where we enjoyed magical views of Petite France.

Back to the cathedral so we could go inside to see the stained glass windows. The magnificent rose window is 13m wide 😳😳 and simply stunning. So many interesting facts about the cathedral with the most fun being that this particular church has THE astronomical clock that determines the date for Easter.

Our final dinner was at a very traditional German restaurant where we had Baeckeoffe (of course) - a big 3 meat & potato casserole.

We are so close to Germany so decided we should pop over for a night cap. We were very excited about it, but the Uber didn’t turn up - we were so disappointed 😞

Strasbourg has been enchanting. I would love to experience it during Christmas and also during summer when it is filled with flower boxes everywhere. Apparently they are normally out now but it’s been a colder/wetter spring than normal; you’ve probably noticed that with our puffer coats and umbrellas 😂😂

Weather won’t stop us though!!!
