Strasbourg - A little kingdom by Alsace

Also in April 2003, right after the visit to Luxembourg, we continued our journey to the south east to France border city - Strasbourg. Strasbourg, the 7th city of France, prefecture of the Low Rhine, is the intellectual and economic capital of Alsace. Its privileged geographical situation as a center of international communications and its position of Latin sentinel by the Rhine as well as its rich history, ensure its exceptional importance. It was therefore natural that Strasbourg was chosen as the home of European institutions.
The highlight of the trip is 'La Petite France', a charming little area with old buildings in German architecture style, hiding at the edge of the city.
