Pont du Faisan (Swing Bridge) – Petite France, Strasbourg

Highlight • Bridge

Built entirely of wood in the 14th century, today it is a movable steel and wood bridge that lets boats sailing on the Ill pass. It offers a superb view of the Strasbourg river and the magnificent half-timbered houses of the Petite France district.

Strasbourg Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

Built between 1176 and 1439, this Gothic-style cathedral stands out with its unique spire. This is what made it the tallest monument in the Christian world in the 15th century. Embedded in the middle of the surrounding buildings, its view overwhelms when seen at the bend of a street.

Kammerzell House

Highlight • Restaurant

The Kammerzell House (also Kammerzellhaus, French: Maison Kammerzell, Alsatian: Kammerzellhüs) is the most famous secular building in Strasbourg. It is a bourgeois half-timbered house built in 1427 and rebuilt in 1467, which received a rich carved façade in 1589.

It is considered one of the most beautiful half-timbered houses of late German Gothic, comparable to the (1944 burned) salt house in Frankfurt am Main or the (rebuilt) Knochenhaueramtshaus in Hildesheim, but is in contrast to these preserved in the original substance.

The house stands on the north side of the Cathedral Square (Place de la Cathédrale), to the side of Strasbourg Cathedral, and houses a restaurant ("Maison Kammerzell") and a small hotel (9 rooms).

Haus Kammerzell is the birthplace of the fictive detective character Honoré Langustier

Kléber Square

Highlight • Rest Area

Central square of Strasbourg, it has been restructured many times. It is now entirely pedestrian, which makes it a very pleasant place to stroll and stroll. Its name comes from the Strasbourg general Jean-Baptiste Kléber, who particularly distinguished himself during the French Revolution. A statue of him stands in the center of the square. It contains a vault containing the ashes of this outstanding figure of Alsace.

Covered Bridges

Highlight • Historical Site

Despite the disappearance of their roof in the 18th century, the Covered Bridges have kept their original name. They have preserved the beautiful towers which were attached to the fortifications of the former free imperial city of Strasbourg. Opposite, you can admire the Vauban dam built in the 17th century. To have a magnificent view of the bridges with the Grande Île and Strasbourg Cathedral in the background, do not hesitate to climb on Vauban's construction.

Today we're visiting the city of Strasbourg on the French side of the Rhine. A tram runs regularly between Strasbourg and Kehl. The historic old town is a feast for the eyes! The undisputed highlight of the day is a visit to the Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Strasbourg!

Strasbourg is known as the seat of numerous European institutions such as the European Parliament, etc. Because of this, the city also sees itself as the "capital of Europe". But we will come to that part of the city later.

Instead of going through the Palatinate Mountains, today we crossed the border to Strasbourg. Based on old memories from more than 50 years ago, we wanted to visit the city again. Unfortunately, the weather gods were not kind to us. We were greeted with drizzle 🌧🌧 and it stayed with us all day. No matter - Strasbourg is always worth …

Today Strasbourg was made unsafe... We parked our car in the multi-storey car park under the Museum di modern art. Inexpensive parking garage but as close to the city center and Strasbourg sights as you can get. There we started the tour towards Petite France. Great bridges, beautiful canals and just made for walking. You should definitely not miss going …
