There's the Church of St Thomas near the cathedral, has a bunch of gorgeous medieval tombs including the sarcophagus of Adelochus the 9th century bishop of Strasbourg, and it has the original 18th century organ console where Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart played.

Strasbourg is my favourite European city so far and you were at my favourite spot. Watching this video made me miss the beautiful Strasbourg.

[@woltersworld]

Thanks. But do not wait until you get old and gray like me :) I started my world travels at 16 and have not stopped for 20 years. Its never to early to begin (we take our 1 year old and 5 year old everywhere) and it is never too late either (my parents only started visiting europe and traveling for fun when they were in their 50s) Have a great trip whenever you do get going!

Living in a neighbouring country, I have visited Strasbourg several times for its culture, museums and of course, shopping and I love this city. I was also very impressed by the small town of Colmar, 73 km from Strasbourg, which is just as remarkable for its medieval architecture with its half-timbered houses, its cathedral and its beautiful Christmas market. And one tip for US tourists. Colmar is the birthplace of French sculptor Auguste Bartholdi who designed Lady Liberty in NYC. His family house is now a museum. Nearby is the House Pfister built in 1537, a magnificent example of Germanic renaissance style. It should be noted that the Hotel Le Maréchal built in 1565 is very charming and has modern conveniences located in the district of "little Venice" on the banks of the Lauch river. Its restaurant L'Echevin offers delicious cuisine.

Most of the french cathedrals are dedicated to Virgin Mary so they are called "Notre Dame" : Paris, Strasbourg, Amiens etc...

[@kingmori1]

Yop even in algeria, there is "Notre Dame d'Afrique" (when French settled here)

[@jinggong4685]

haha

[@swaggy_mc_fatty5285]

Thx I'm studying France and that's a great fun fact for me

[@lecabillaud6060]

@sam som. Not accurate : Strasbourg was a free city, and the bishops (who ruled the it mostly) were very defensive over their autonomy towards both the Ottonian Empire and the Kingdom of France ; the first architect of the cathedral was french, and the most known master builder was german ; even the stainglass windows are influenced by both. Anyway, the dedication of the sanctuary to Virgin Mary dates back the the 8th century, that's before Karolus Magnus, when there was neither France nor Germany, but the Merovingians and the remnants of the Roman Empire.

[@homasas4837]

I'm from Strasbourg and that's the first time I heard the cathedral is called Notre Dame. Everybody here and in rest of France just call it "cathédrale de Strasbourg"

[@247ryanjones]

Is it difficult to get a hotel reservation in mid August? Thanks.

[@LaurentBrancaleoni]

+Barbara Witte If you have any difficulties with hotels reservations there are some great flats on Airbnb. If you still don't have an Airbnb account, you can get some dollars off by getting the coupon on airbnbcouponcode.net. You can also a look to my own place you cant rent on Airbnb here : www.airbnb.fr/rooms/4216077

[@etransform]

Thnx for the post which gave me a good idea of what I should do 2015 Summer. After a week in Paris, I plan to spend time on the Alsace wine trail to Colmar, then up to Strasboug before crossing into Freiberg and then on to my wife's home town Bremen. Do you have any ideas on travelling such as Train vs Rental car, staying at Marriott hotels vs Local B&Bs. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated so that we can formulate some concrete plans. Thanks for the post.

Does anyone understand german there? I learned german for my visits here, but Now I am gonna be in strasbourg tomorrow and I don't know the language.

[@LaurentBrancaleoni]

+Usablefiber You don't need to speak German in Strasbourg as Strasbourg is a French city ! ;-)

[@MrRek2010]

Elsass was originally German to 1648 when the country was annexed by France, on this day not all speak German, there is always something that can Elsasser language. Surely some youths who can and English Welcome im Elsass in Strossburi !!

[@MrRek2010]

Anyone can talk the language themselves want ... France has no language monopoly in Europe this time is over when you were punished as children, both physically and mentally in schools in Alsace when one spoke Alsatian.

[@homasas4837]

An advice : don't go to a local and talk to him in German like it was his native language. You gonna be in trouble in Strasbourg.

[@johnmc3862]

It’s much more German than French looking!!

[@TheDomaZog]

French with german influence? It's the other way around dude. Straßburg is a german city with a french influence currently occupied by france. And as soon as this EU charade is over we will take it back.

[@TheDomaZog]

Milphide E yea, plenty of slaves love their slave master, muslim women love the burqa and the head scarf. the Alsace was taken from germany and eventually we'll take it back. It doesn't matter how you see yourself. You'll be gone soon. Alsatian (german) culture dies and its the fault of people like you and french homogenization. Less than 3% of people under 20 are able to speak allemannic these days. Its not acceptable and once the EU is over we will take it back and save the german (alsatian) culture. Now, back under the french boot, traitor.

[@francksalome1683]

***** Ah ah ah ! You made me laugh, thank you. I'm from Strasbourg too and unfortunately, Strasbourg (or Mulhouse) were free cities before they were german or french. But they choose France for a lot of reasons. No one, today, would seriously want to "go back" to Germany, because, among others, of history and the men and women forced to join the german army during WWII, or the destruction of jews (the jewish community was very old in Alsace). If the alsatian dialects dies, it's because it's precisely a dialect and not a language.

[@doneyhon4227]

***** lol ok, good joke. Go to learn history at school.

[@doneyhon4227]

***** Oh, and if you are not agree with this fact, we have eventually 600 nuclear weapons to put on your face. Ok? :)
