Through the Heart of Europe -- Part 3, Strasbourg

Once back on the boat we embarked on the first stage of the journey -- down the river to Strasbourg. Passing through a number of locks, we floated on through the countryside.


And arrived at our destination.


Swans. Everywhere we went we found swans.


We then transferred to a canal boat for a tour of the city.


The parliament of the European Union meets in Strasbourg in this building.




A man walking his dog along the canal -- you have to look closely to see the dog.


Watch towers and a medieval bridge.


A canal boat.


The famous Strasbourg cathedral.


Mockers across the street from the cathedral


Inside the cathedral


The magnificent rose window.



Returning to the river we encountered more swans..., lots of them.
