Today we had a relaxing morning exploring Strasbourg, until around 2 pm, when it became too unpleasant to be outside any more. The heatwave continues and we stopped several times to cool down – at a fountain near the cathedral, a children’s water park and this water sprinkler.

The Ill river circles around the city, with tourist boats cruising up and down and bike paths alongside.

The Cathedral is a definite highlight.

         

         

The Petite-France area is very pretty.

        

        

The European Parliament is in the city, and is huge.
