Last weekend, possibly the final weekend of glorious sunshine for another year, we went to Strasbourg, the final birthday celebration, a city that is fully French, was once German for almost 50 years and is now filled with pretzels, flammenkueche, and all around adorability…
And good cocktails! What? I’m Irish!!!
Seriously, I wanted to eat everywhere! And tried!
On your bike! No cars in the city centre after 11am, Joy!!!
This is an actual school, lycée! It must be for wizards!!
Saint Paul’s Reformed Church, one of the many churches along our boat tour
European Parliament 
Flammenkueche, Pizza Alsace style
Petite France area of Strasbourg, Can you imagine this with the Christmas market in full sway!!!!
We had the best sauerkraut with fish here! (Choucroute de la mer). Not from the troff!!!

A moving Spider at the museum of modern Art, in top hat too!
And a goodbye from the glass modernity of Central Station

Oh my! I had no idea Strasbourg was so beautiful (at least at the end of summer). It’s like a fairy tale village. Thank you for sharing, Damien.

Though I love where I live in France, I see I shall have to find my way to Strasbourg. It is all just too tempting.

I hope you won’t be disappointed, I certainly wasn’t! And I believe the Christmas market is amazing here
Léa
Thank you. I’ve yet to be disappointed anywhere I’ve been since moving here. It is more likely to be spring as I have a friend coming to visit.
