There are also the carvings on the west front, seen from a distance in Rue Merciere – so many stories there. But thank you for the other pictures, we had only half a day in your city, walked a lot, saw a lot, missed more! A la prochaine.

These are beautiful. I especially love the view from ponts couverts. What time of year was that taken? There’s another fantastic view that I was happy to enjoy a few years ago when I rented an AirBnB located on the top floors of a building on the western edge of the plaza that surrounds the cathedral. I hope to go back some day. A wonderful city. Thanks for reviving some fond memories.

Thank you! The view from Ponts Couverts was taken in the spring, around April/May. That AirBnB sounds amazing! And do come back some day, we’re sure it’ll make for wonderful new experiences 😊

I first met wisteria in Brooklyn, New York of all places, at the botanical garden there. It has been a favorite ever since.

My trip to see Strasbourg was cancelled last year due to covid19, such a pity as your pictures shows the beauty that I missed there. Can’t wait to there even more now

Oh no, that’s too bad! You can still enjoy the city in the rain, but it does indeed make photography more challenging. We hope you can come back to better weather some day!
