The Journey

Petite France
Step into a fairytale in Petite France, Strasbourg's most picturesque district, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Wander through cobblestone streets lined with half-timbered houses, adorned with flower-filled window boxes, that reflect in the canals. Historically home to tanners, millers, and fishermen, Petite France now offers a romantic ambiance with charming restaurants, boutiques, and stunning views of the covered bridges and Vauban Dam. Indulge in traditional Alsatian cuisine amidst this enchanting setting.
