La Petite France, which is why it is sometimes compared to a little Venice. Where the district takes shape, the river forms an astonishing delta made up of five arms. Seen from the air, they look strangely like the fingers of a hand trying to grasp the whole city. At once peaceful and impetuous, the Ill fills the district with all its charm. Take a stroll along the quays and admire the reflections off the colourful facades of the old houses.

Strasbourg's central square, Place Kléber, is the place to be for all kinds of gatherings. It is both modern, having been refurbished in 2007, and heir to the city's prestige, with its surrounding buildings dating back several centuries.
