We then drive on to Strasbourg.

Strasbourg, the jewel of Alsace, is one of the loveliest cities in France. Its cobbled medieval quarters, half-timbered houses, old churches and cathedral make every walk feel like a step back in time. The city where "La Marseillaise" was written blends Alsatian culture with French architecture.
