Place Kléber after the Tour de France was full of festivities.

There was free face painting for everyone near the Tour de France information center set up by the city of Strasbourg. My daughters were butterflies.

Some close ups of the Cathedral

Luc Arbogast

Get the lead out of your feet people!


La fête de la musique has come and gone. We went for a couple of hours walking and sometimes stopping to watch an interesting performance. Once the streets starting to get crowded we headed home. Last year, we learned a lesson about packed streets and strollers not to mention small children [...]
