Strasbourg, Alsatian city, home of the European Parliament. In the Petite France district, you will see many half-timbered houses typical of the Rhine basin. The splendid cathedral of Our Lady of Strasbourg stands near the Maison Kammerzell, which dates from the 15th century. Its timbers are some of the finest in the town. Another curiosity in Strasbourg is the Ponts Couverts, former medieval fortifications that used to protect the city. Every year in December, Strasbourg holds a Christmas market, the most famous and probably the finest in France.
