Our itinerary will cover key attractions such as the Cathedral and the picturesque district of La Petite France. Join us as we explore the various aspects of Strasbourg and share practical tips for making the most of your stay in this interesting city.
About Marion and Brenda's Four Days in Strasbourg
Marion and Brenda took the train to Strasbourg directly when they landed in Paris. They were really jet lagged on the train ride but it all went smoothly. It was Brenda's first time going transatlantic.
They stayed at the Hotel Cathédrale right by the Cathedral. Tight rooms, but a great breakfast and a comfortable hotel. They loved walking around the city center and took a boat tour. There were Christmas stores already open in Strasbourg in September but they'd like to return at Christmas time. They at at Chez Yvonne and La Frigonette, in Strasbourg and enjoyed the food a lot.
They did a wine and food tour with a local guide. They went to Colmar on a tour bus. Along the way they stopped in Riquewihr and the Château du Haut-Kœnigsbourg.
They also absolutely loved Au P'Tit Curieux restaurant in the 10e arrondissement in Paris.
