In Petite France, the Ill River splits into several channels that cascade through an area which, in the Middle Ages, was home to Tanners, Millers and Fisherman -
It is now a very beautiful part of the Strasbourg Tourist area.
With its Locks ...
(OK .... I couldn't resist that one)
With it's Lochs and Swing bridges
- tourist boats now cruise the river
Petite France is also home to what has been referred to as
"The Best Gingerbread Store in all of Strasbourg"
Just don't get there between 12 and 2
or you may, as we did, find the store closed for Lunch!
(which the owners were enjoying at a table set
with Baguettes and glass or two of Red Wine at the counter)
No Gingerbread for me then....
It's a shame you missed the gingerbread!
