Strasbourg, France

On our first weekend back together in Germany, we drove a few hours just over the border into France to Strasbourg in the Alsace Lorraine region.  It's the home of Quiche Lorraine!  You can tell from the pictures that the city is an interesting mixture of southern Germany and France.  Half-timbered homes are everywhere.

Sitting at a wine stube, you hear both german and french being spoken.  Not this guy though, he speaks almost perfect english.

 

The focal point of the city is their ornate cathedral Notre Dame. It was mostly completed in 1284

The Petite France area is surrounded by canals and has these beautiful homes with half timber walls and stucco.





This building has a mix of half timber walls and french windows.



This shows how different one side of the street can be from the other.
