What to expect

  1. Place d'Austerlitz
    10m
    Its very name refers to the location and destiny of this city, which has always been a confluence
    and convergence point. (The sculpture was inaugurated by Roland Ries, the Mayor of
    Strasbourg, in October 2012).
  2. Strasbourg
    20m
    Kugelhopf ranks second in the culinary landscape of famous Alsatian recipes and dishes, just
    after the choucroute garnie. A tall, fluted coffee bread that is dusted in confectioners’ sugar and
    mild in flavor, kugelhopf is an everyday bread that is known historically for being served before
    weddings and other traditional ceremonies. Available year-round, kugelhopf easily can be
    found inside most Alsatian bakeries. A delightful bread that can be enjoyed morning, noon, or
    night, kugelhopf pairs well with coffee, tea, and liqueurs like kirsch.
  3. Strasbourg
    10m
    If you take a look at Place du Château (where a model of the cathedral weighing 200
    kilos, was built in bronze in 2015 to commemorate the millennium of the foundations of
    the cathedral of Strasbourg), right near the cathedral, you’ll see on the ground a
    monument of “future archaeology”: the Vault for the Future (Caveau du Futur).
  4. Strasbourg
    20m
    Cathedral neighborhood
    Built on the highest point of Strasbourg, the cathedral is the emblematic monument of the city.
    The pink sandstone facade, 66 meters high, is a summary of architectural art from the 13th to
    the 15th century. It’s the second highest cathedral in France.
  5. Cour du Corbeau
    10m
    Already in 1528, “La Cour du Corbeau” housed a hotel named “Zum Rappen” and it seems to
    be one of the few European architectural ensembles which, from the outset, was built to be a
    hotel.
  6. Strasbourg
    10m
    Oriel in English means «bow window», which is an architectural element made of a curved bay
    window designed to create space by projecting beyond the exterior wall of a building, and to
    provide a wider view of the outside.
  7. Strasbourg
    20m
    What to eat? Selection of Alsatian sweets (bredeles / pâte à tartiner / chocolats dont bretzels
    et kouglofs / guimauves / pâtes de fruits
