Strasbourg

Tucked along the Ill River on the Rhine plain, Strasbourg is a place whose character is shaped by its position on France’s eastern border. The Grande Île, the historic island at its centre, has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1988; its lanes and canals include the timber-framed quarter known as Petite France. Strasbourg Cathedral, built in warm Vosges sandstone, dominates the old town with its single Gothic spire. The city also has a major European role as the official seat of the European Parliament and home to the Council of Europe.
