Salut !
Strasbourg has both the old-fashioned charm of a quaint medieval city and the mighty feel of a powerful European political centre.
Strasbourg plays a major role as a business, commercial, and cultural centre. Besides its traditional role as the chief city of Alsace, Strasbourg is also the seat of a number of European institutions and bodies including the European Parliament, the Council of Europe, and the European Court of Human Rights.
