The city of StrasbourgThe city is surrounded by many amazing churches and cathedrals, the architecture in Strasbourg is very rich and some examples of it are: the Cathedral of Our Lady, Eglise Saint-Etienne, Eglise Saint-Thomas, Eglise Saint-Pierre-le-Jeune Protestant, Eglise Saint-Guillaume, Eglise Saint-Jean, the astronomical clock and the old towers are also very visited attractions in this city. This city was once a german territory but returned to France, despite of this Strasbourg has a German influence and nowadays is a very modern and fascinating city. "La Petite France" is a pittoresque quarter where fishermen, millers and tanners lived in former times. The beautiful half-timbered houses mostly date from the 16th or 17th century. It's the quarter where different canals go out from the Ill, the river going through Strasbourg and flowing round the Isle of the old city.
