La Petite France

  La Petite France stands at the northeastern end of Strasbourg's historic district, nestled alongside the Rhine River. Known for its half-timbered houses, this area dates back to the 16th century and was originally a hub for tanners and fishermen. The picturesque canals that wind through the district offer a glimpse into its past while serving as a lovely backdrop for leisurely strolls. In December, the festive markets fill the streets, enhancing the charm with local crafts and seasonal delicacies. Visitors can explore the winding cobblestone paths, admire the unique architecture, and enjoy waterside cafes for a taste of Strasbourg life.
