A little about Strasbourg:
Located in the magnificent region, between the Vosges mountains and the Rhine, Strasbourg is a city with a rich architectural interest, a European city, hosting the Council of Europe and the European Parliament, and a young city with its 50 000 college students. The roads and crossroads of civilizations, headquarters of major international institutions and many diplomatic missions, Strasbourg is still a very charming town of reasonable size.
