Morning light bounces off black-and-white timber frames and the Ill River nudges the cobbles as a local guide turns a corner into Petite France. The city smells faintly of baking bread and river damp; a bell from the cathedral counts out a slow, steady time. In two hours a private guide tightens the focus: architecture, canals, and the small stories that reveal Strasbourg’s dual French–German identity.
