Strasbourg holds a special place in my heart : I have a common point with the European Community : we where both born there (even if i'm " technically" born in Ougadougou - i arrived in Strasbourg aged 3 weeks and grew up there - my family lives in the area).
Whenever i can, i come back there, to my roots.
While travelling has broadened my horizons, comming "home" always makes me appreciate how much the world is made richer by all our differences.
Strasbourg is a paradigm of multiculturalism : French / German,
Gothic / Roman, Alsacian / European... the city is all that at the same time.
The city's name comes from the Gallo-Roman Era : Strate Burgum : the town of the roads; and if all roads lead to Rome, many cross in Strasbourg.

Very beautiful city indeed!
Thanks for the useful tips
Heureux que vous ayez aimé le MRBA à Bruxelles. Tous les 2 ans nous visitons l'Alsace, villes romantiques, gens agréables, bon vin, bonne nourriture!
good pages; my only visit was in 1970 so it brought back memories
Been to strasbourg twice but never bee to your "off-beaten path"places, I wish to visit some of these places next time.
What a great page on Strasbourg, I just love that city, and your photos are beautiful! Thanks for sharing, Wade
Your Tips are excellent - better than a Guide Book! We were almost there - in Selestat - but ran out of time. Would like to go back to see your town.
great tips Marie!
Hi Marie, I've never been to Strasbourg, but it looks very beautiful. some great photography as well. My compliments to your Dad on the "La cathedrale vue de l'Ill -photo" - great colours. fergy.
Nice introduction to your place of birth. Glad you included the European institutions and the theatre and opera house. I hope to visit there in June for a couple of days.
