    The Cathedral Notre-Dame de Strasbourg is a stunning example of Gothic architecture and a highlight of any visit to Alsace. Its towering, ornate facade, crafted from pink sandstone, changes color with the light throughout the day, creating a mesmerizing sight. Inside, the cathedral is filled with intricate stained-glass windows and a soaring nave that conveys a profound sense of awe. A unique feature is the astronomical clock, which draws crowds daily for its intricate display at noon. Visitors

    Petite-France in Strasbourg, France, is a charming historic quarter that feels like stepping into a storybook. Famous for its half-timbered houses, narrow cobblestone streets, and scenic canals, it perfectly reflects the city’s Alsatian charm. Once home to millers and tanners, the district is now filled with cozy cafés, boutiques, and picturesque bridges. The area’s vibrant flowers, reflections on the water, and medieval architecture create an enchanting atmosphere year-round. Walking through Petite-France offers a blend of romance, history, and beauty at every corner. It’s a must-visit spot in Strasbourg, ideal for leisurely strolls, photography, and experiencing authentic French ambiance.

    [Scenery] I was speechless by the beauty of spring in Colmar Old Town! I never thought Colmar in spring could be so beautiful🌷 The weather was fine and the sun was warm. The flowers on the street were blooming, and they were set off by the colorful wooden houses, which were bright and beautiful everywhere. The river was sparkling, and the boats were drifting by. Everything was gentle and healing. Here, time slowed down. I really love it!

    Colmar Saint-Martin Church, it is surprising that such a small Colmar has such a large church. The church is relatively simple and rustic, without any particularly gorgeous decorations. It is located in the center of the old city.

    The interior of the tower is made of piled stones, which was a very advanced technology for the construction level of that time. It is matched with the charming rose window, which reflects beautiful brilliance under the sunlight! !

    The Orange Garden is a public activity park full of artistic atmosphere. As soon as you enter the main entrance, you will see some posters, just like university clubs recruiting people. It is clean and tidy inside, with many modern sculptures.

    It is not large in absolute terms, but in a small European town, such a square is already the center of the city. There is a row of small houses between the square and the cathedral, so you can see the spire of the church hanging in the air.

    Although Strasbourg has a high status in the Vatican, the Rohan Palace still seems too luxurious. This former bishop's palace can be compared with many top palaces, with one side facing the church and the other side facing the water.

    Metz Cathedral: Also known as the Cathedral of Saint-Etienne, it is admired for its high harmony. Its roof was rebuilt with copper after the fire in 1877, and its high height is not conducive to the flight of the towers. The Chapitre tower on the left and the tower on the right can both be traced back to the 13th century. The church's glass paintings are luxurious and the church has won the reputation of "God's Lantern". Enter the church through the Place des Armes. You can request a guided tour from the Church Affairs Management Office (I' Association de l' Oeuvre de la cathédrale) in the Chambre or the office inside the church.
