Very interesting page with a collection of the places you visited here in Europe, but why haven't you uploaded a photo of Warszawa??? :-)

It is always difficult to build a very general page such as on Europe. Following the World Heritage list is a good idea! I am not an enthusiast of Paris, neither! This is obviously not the language! I agree with you about Strasbourg.
