What makes That’s all Local Strasbourg Tour – Bites and Stories a unique experience ?
Its very name refers to the location and destiny of this city, which has always been a confluence
and convergence point. (The sculpture was inaugurated by Roland Ries, the Mayor of
Strasbourg, in October 2012).
Kugelhopf ranks second in the culinary landscape of famous Alsatian recipes and dishes, just
after the choucroute garnie. A tall, fluted coffee bread that is dusted in confectioners’ sugar and
mild in flavor, kugelhopf is an everyday bread that is known historically for being served before
weddings and other traditional ceremonies. Available year-round, kugelhopf easily can be
found inside most Alsatian bakeries. A delightful bread that can be enjoyed morning, noon, or
night, kugelhopf pairs well with coffee, tea, and liqueurs like kirsch.
If you take a look at Place du Château (where a model of the cathedral weighing 200
kilos, was built in bronze in 2015 to commemorate the millennium of the foundations of
the cathedral of Strasbourg), right near the cathedral, you’ll see on the ground a
monument of “future archaeology”: the Vault for the Future (Caveau du Futur).
Cathedral neighborhood
Built on the highest point of Strasbourg, the cathedral is the emblematic monument of the city.
The pink sandstone facade, 66 meters high, is a summary of architectural art from the 13th to
the 15th century. It’s the second highest cathedral in France.
Already in 1528, “La Cour du Corbeau” housed a hotel named “Zum Rappen” and it seems to
be one of the few European architectural ensembles which, from the outset, was built to be a
hotel.
Oriel in English means «bow window», which is an architectural element made of a curved bay
window designed to create space by projecting beyond the exterior wall of a building, and to
provide a wider view of the outside.
