Tips-4-Trips - #Tip169 -- Petite France, a Strasbourg Highlight

Petite-France is the town's bustling tourist center, known for its cobblestone streets, canals, and well-preserved half-timbered houses such as the 1572 Tanner House. A terrace atop the 17th-century Barrage Vauban, a covered bridge and weir, offers panoramic views. Alsatian restaurants abound in the area, and stores in and around Grand'Rue sell clothing and souvenirs such as tableware, wine, and specialty teas.
