Most of my time was spent on the Grand Ile, which was totally gorgeous – like nowhere else I’ve ever visited and the people I met were also very friendly.

The big highlight was the Sons et Lumiere – it was the first time I was ever at one of these shows. Pub-wise, was very impressed with L’Academie de la Biere (open to 4am) and a newly opened Irish pub called The Dubliners. (It’s only a very short stroll away from the Cathedral, on Vieux Marche aux Poissons).

There’s a few places I still want to visit so I’ll definitely be going back. _{The Kronenbourg brewery, for example :)}

Gorgeous building, though very very tall :) The building itself is fantastic looking, the Astronomical Clock’s pretty cool, and there’s a scary looking crucifix.

You can also climb up to a viewing platform for what is – apparently – a great view…not only of the city, but also of Alsace. Typically, I forgot all about doing this until I’d returned to Paris….so I’m just going to have to book a return visit :)

I’ve been here – even if it’s only technically !

I was in Strasbourg for a couple of days and took the #21 bus across the border. Admittedly, I didn’t spend more than a couple of hours in the town, but the beer was cool, what I saw was nice and the people I encountered seemed very friendly…

_{I was badly hampered by my lack of German. If and when I go back, I’ll try to do much better.}
