Discovering the cul-de-sacs of old Strasbourg
Stroll through the historic centre of Strasbourg and discover twelve cul-de-sacs, which are unusual and little-known corners of the Alsatian capital. The route takes you through the alleys and streets of the Grande Île, from Rue de la Nuée-Bleue to Ponts-Couverts, via Place Broglie, the cathedral, the banks of the Ill and La Petite France. An original way to see the city from a different perspective. As for the cul-de-sacs, they "at least lead you to turn around", according to writer Sylvain Tesson...
The Ill and the Schiltigheim ponds
A delightful walk on the outskirts of the city, allowing you to explore the banks of the Ill and the ponds that lend a wild, natural feel to this urban area. You’ll spot plenty of birds (small passerines, geese and seagulls) as well as signs of beavers.
An easy walk to enjoy in any season, though undoubtedly more pleasant in summer and in dry weather (paths can get muddy in places).
You can get there and back on the E tram from the city centre.
