Strasbourg is a perfect city to explore the beautiful nature of France away from the crowds. While Nice vividly depicts the Italian influence, Strasbourg has roots of the tangle of French and German influences. French and German cuisines harmoniously blend in this city, best accompanied with local Alsatian wine with spicy and floral taste.

Petite France, one of the most famous attractions of Strasbourg is a small dreamy medieval island that with its canals create beautiful picturesque scenery.

The Ponts Couverts are a set of 3 bridges and 4 towers that form a defensive work built in the 13th century on the River Ill. The 3 bridges cross the 4 river channels of the River Ill that pass through Strasbourg's historic Petite France quarter. The Ponts Couverts have been classified as a Monument historique since 1928. As a defensive structure, they were superseded by the Barrage Vauban, just upstream, in 1690, but remained in use as bridges. Currently, this building is one of the mostly visited touristic sites in Strasbourg due to their architectural value, history and picturesque view.
