Little Venice Korma is worth going. I think it is worth going. One day trip is enough, the scenery at night is also very beautiful, we saw sauerkraut stew, I think it is not very delicious, or it is recommended to order pig hands, eat this point, I suggest other things, I think it is good to walk around slowly.

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
The symbol of the city of Strasbourg, a majestic and beautiful masterpiece, a landmark loaded with
history and meticulous Gothic art.

[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!
A fairytale town with a beautiful environment and many tourists. The ancient streets and houses quietly tell their own stories. Walking in the town gives you the feeling of living in a fairytale. The shop signs on both sides have their own characteristics, and it feels very interesting just to look at the shop signs on both sides. No wonder many film and television works and variety shows come here to shoot.

This building is more imposing than Notre Dame de Paris. As the cathedral of Reims, the coronation city, it attracts a large number of tourists every year to make pilgrimages! The beautiful rose windows surround it and are full of charm under the sunlight.
I always think that the beauty of architecture can move people. The Notre Dame Cathedral in Reims, which is comparable to Notre Dame de Paris and has a history of more than 800 years, has beautiful glass mosaics. The key is that there are not many people on the street, which feels the best!

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.
In the French town of Colmar, the place I visited most carefully and stayed the longest was probably the St. Martin Cathedral in the center of the town.
In my impression, the first thing that impressed me was its gentle colors. With the sunshine, it is particularly beautiful.
The whole church is in Gothic style, and there is nothing particularly distinctive inside, so I just took a look.

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.
This is the residence of former royal family members and bishops. It is the building you will immediately see when entering Petite France or the Grande Island. It is quite large in Strasbourg and very eye-catching, with one side directly along the river.

Stanislas Square is the most famous square in Lanxi. The fountain on the square is said to be inspired by the Fountain of the Four Rivers in Rome. The statue of Duke Stanislas stands in the center of the square. On a sunny afternoon in autumn, it is really comfortable to have a glass of wine or coffee in a tavern next to the square.
Nancy has a world-famous square called the most exquisite city square in the world - Place Stanislas. The famous writer Victor Hugo once said: "Place Stanislas is the most beautiful, pleasant and perfect square I have ever seen, a magnificent square." The on-site experience really shocked me, it was perfect!

Roughly northeast of Strasbourg, right next to the European Court of Human Rights is a modern glass-walled building. I passed by it a few times and it seemed quite empty. When there were meetings or events, they would be on alert.
Strasbourg is very small, so if you have enough time for shopping, you can come here for a walk. This is the sub-center of European administration, very close to the old town. The building is completely modern in design and cannot be entered. There are many slogans outside.
