When to go to Strasbourg?
The cathedral's single spire, the tallest in France, still fixes the skyline, and the platform below it is worth the climb. In La Petite France, timbered houses lean over the canals and locks of the old tanners' quarter. Across the water, the classical state rooms of the Palais Rohan give way to the glass and steel of the European quarter.
