In this episode, we dive into the charm of Strasbourg — a city where French and German influences blend beautifully and every stroll feels like stepping into a storybook. 

It’s the perfect intro if you’re dreaming about visiting Strasbourg or just want a taste of what makes this Alsatian gem so irresistible.

We start in UNESCO-listed Petite France, the postcard-perfect corner of Strasbourg famous for its half-timbered houses, flower-filled balconies and winding canals.

It’s one of those spots where you swear you’ll stop taking photos… and then immediately take five more.

Then it’s on to the showstopper: the Strasbourg Cathedral.

This Gothic marvel is impossible to miss — soaring spires, an astronomical clock that’s downright mesmerizing and stained glass that turns sunlight into magic.

If you’re visiting Strasbourg, this is the landmark you’ll remember long after you’ve left.

Of course, tasting Flammekueche (tarte flambée) is practically a rite of passage here. 

Thin, crispy, creamy, and totally addictive — think Alsace’s take on pizza, and yes, it’s every bit as delicious as it sounds.

Whether you hop on a river boat tour, join a walking tour, or let your feet guide you, Strasbourg is a city that rewards wandering. 

And don’t forget the local shops — perfect for picking up wine, treats, or that just-right souvenir.

Tune in to get a feel for Strasbourg, spark some travel inspiration, and maybe set the wheels in motion for your own Alsatian adventure.
