What to expect
Petite France is a charming district in Strasbourg, France, known for its picturesque canals, half-timbered houses, and quaint streets. The district is bounded by the Quai de la Bruche, Rue du Bain-aux-Plantes, Place Benjamin-Zix, and Rue des Dentelles. The river Ill splits into several channels, cascading through the area and creating a unique and romantic atmosphere. The district is home to many historical and cultural sites, including the Maison des Tanneurs, a former tanners' guild headquarters, and the Ponts Couverts, a defensive structure with three bridges and four towers. Visitors can stroll along the canals, admire the half-timbered houses, and explore the narrow lanes and footbridges that connect them. The district is also known for its picturesque views, particularly from the Pont du Faisan swing bridge and the Vauban Dam
