Petite France, Strasbourg

We arrived at the old town of Strasbourg, Petite France, in the early afternoon of Sunday, May 6, after a 2-hour drive from Metz.  The rain was still following us.  We decided to have lunch first and we wanted a typical Alsace meal.   Here is a Choucroute  with six different meats, that was for me.

Here is the famous local Alsace dish, tart flambé.  It is almost like a pizza but uses fresh cream and onion as base instead of tomato.

 This is the restaurant that we had our lunch.

 It is a very old building, it seems that not a bone in this house is straight!

 The restaurant sits right on the river and you can see the name of the restaurant, Restaurant Marco Polo.  A very typical touristic restaurant, it was just what we wanted.

After lunch, the rain stopped, we walked around the Petite France area a bit before heading south on A35 to our next destination Colmar.  The area is very beautiful but with a lot of tourists.  With much skill and patience, we managed to avoid most of them in our pictures.

Bit before heading south on A35 to our next purpose Colmar. The area is extremely good-looking but with a lot of tourists. With much skill and patience, we managed to avoid most of them in our movies.
