The multicultural city of Strasbourg exhibits both French and German influences due to its location along the Rhine River at the border of both countries. The old streets of “Petit France,” with wooden houses and picturesque canals, seem to make time stand still. The carefully restored Cathedral of Notre Dame contains a combination of architectural styles and is most recognized for its 465-foot-tall graceful spires. Another landmark is the 18th-century Château des Rohan, which houses three of the city’s major museums.
