La Petite France is Strasbourg's most iconic neighbourhood. Its half-timbered houses leaning over the canals of the Ill, its cobbled lanes and its locks make it one of the best-preserved medieval ensembles in Europe. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1988, this former quarter of tanners, millers and fishermen attracts millions of visitors from around the world every year. This guide takes you on a journey through its history, its monuments and its best-kept secrets.
Three days are enough to discover the essentials of Alsace, provided you organise your itinerary well. Between Strasbourg, Colmar and the emblematic villages of the Wine Route, this balanced programme allows a complete immersion in the region's heritage, gastronomy and vineyard landscapes.
Strasbourg's Notre-Dame Cathedral is one of the most fascinating monuments in Europe. Built over more than four centuries, with its spire that long dominated the entire world, its prodigious astronomical clock and its façade sculpted like a lace of stone, it embodies better than any other building the genius of Rhenish Gothic architecture and the deep soul of Alsace.
Alsace is one of Europe's richest regions for Christmas markets. From Strasbourg to Colmar, from Obernai to Kaysersberg, each market has its own character, atmosphere and specialities. This comparative guide helps you choose - and plan your visit.
Strasbourg proudly calls itself the Christmas Capital - and for good reason. Since 1570, its Christmas market, the Christkindelsmärik, has lit up the city's squares every December. A look back at more than four centuries of a tradition that has made Strasbourg one of the world's great festive destinations.
