      Cathedrale de Strasbourg

      Take to the heights in Notre-Dame Cathedral

      Nothing less than a masterpiece and the world’s oldest Gothic cathedral, Notre-Dame Cathedral is a symbol of Strasbourg’s beauty. Recognisable at first glance due to its pink sandstone façade, it’s a “prodigy of the gigantic and the delicate”, as Victor Hugo put it.

       

      A visit to the edifice is a must during your stay in Strasbourg. This 1000-year-old and more medieval marvel houses an extraordinary array of treasures on no account to be missed out on.

       

      And for a total experience, make your way up to the Cathedral’s platform. After climbing some 330 steps, you’ll be more than 60 metres above ground, with breathtaking views over the roofs of Strasbourg, Vosges and the famous Black Forest!

          Then get back on land in the city’s oldest park, a favourite haunt of lovers

          Children, joggers, walkers, couples, families… everybody loves spending time there when the sun’s out. Parc de l’Orangerie is Strasbourg’s oldest park, an open-air leisure area where life couldn’t be better! Spring and summer alike, the many attractions it accommodates –mini-farm, free zoo and bowling alley to mention just three of them – bring happiness to the many locals and tourists, who, like you, want to get a breath of fresh air away from the bustle of the city’s historic centre.

           

          Did you know that this English-style park is where the stork, symbol of Alsace and once an endangered species, was reintroduced in 1971? Since then, more than 800 stork chicks have been added to their number. During your Sunday walk, you’re sure to come across some of these beautiful birds, which make their home in the park all year long.
