    From the outside, this Gothic gem impresses you with its 142-meter tower (it was the tallest in the world for centuries). Its facade is covered with sculptures that tell biblical stories, and its central rose window is an explosion of color and geometry. The pink sandstone changes its tone according to daylight. A masterpiece that dominates the old town!

    Just opposite the cathedral, this 15th-century house stands out for its half-timbered architecture and loaded decoration: carved wood sculptures, stained glass windows, and high, pointed ceilings. It is one of the best preserved medieval houses in the city and a magnificent example of the German Renaissance.

    La Petite France

    Strasbourg’s most picturesque neighborhood, with its half-timbered houses and sloping ceilings, flowery balconies and canals that cut across it all. From the outside, it looks like something out of a story. Here lived millers, tanners and fishermen. It's the romantic heart of the city
