Strasbourg – Grande รฎle
Surrounded by two arms of the River Ill, the Grande
Ile (Big Island) is the historic centre of the Alsatian capital. It has
an outstanding complex of monuments within a fairly small area. The
cathedral, the four ancient churches and the Palais Rohan – former
residence of the prince-bishops – far from appearing as isolated
monuments, form a district that is characteristic of a medieval town and
illustrates Strasbourg's evolution from the 15th to the 18th century.
