Date of visit: August 15, 2010, around 5:00 p.m.
From the square in front of the station, where the hotel is located, to the center of the city, it takes 5 minutes on foot. This is actually the second time for our family here in Strasbourg. I had been there in July 2006 and my parents had been there the following summer. This is one of those cities where you really want to come back again and again.
The symbol of the city is here. It is the Grand Dill.
「ストラスブールのグラン・ディル」は、フランス・ストラスブールにあるユネスコ世界遺産の物件名。グラン・ディルは後述するように北仏の都市ストラスブールの一区域であるが、この区域は歴史的に中心市街が栄えた区域であり、また世界遺産への登録もその点が評価されたものであることから、日本では「ストラスブールの旧市街」と意訳されることもしばしばある。（Wikipediaより）
Speaking of which, the weather is slowly recovering and we can finally see some sunshine.
We also went inside the cathedral, I think we went in there 5 years ago but I don’t remember it at all…
Continue with a leisurely tour of the city center of Strasbourg.
This town was also the model for the town depicted in the Ghibli film « Howl’s Moving Castle », right? If you think about it that way, it really does look like something you’d see in a movie.
The canal, one of the most colorful features of this city.
The meal of the day was in town. We had Beccoff, which is a specialty of Alsace.
この日はここで一泊。いよいよ明日は最終日です。再びドイツへと戻ります。（翌日へ続く）
