Strasbourg: EU And Petite France March 30, 2010
Posted by tiffany in : Strasbourg , trackbackWe decided to go to the EU building today and sadly we were not allowed to go inside the actual building. Apparently they don’t allow people in without being in a group of 20-35 people with a reservation two to thre
e months in advance. We felt a bit better when we saw there was a large group of teenagers (on a field trip methinks) and they were turned away also. It was depressing particularly because their web site that we looked at last night said that they do allow people in without a group. That was a little disappointing.
So afterward we decided to go to Petite France, an area of Strasbourg, and eat our Crepes (with Nutella and banana) that I had made this morning. After we found a nice 
place to go sit it began to rain. We packed our things up and carried on through Petite France’s narrow streets. It was absolutely lovely, the area is a strange mixture of old French and German architecture. There were flower pots hanging from balconies and creperies and bistros on the first floor of the buildings. After a about twenty minutes of walking we found ourselves pretty wet and ducked into a church to hide from the rain for a couple of minutes.
Since it started raining, we went back to Austin’s house and ate the Crepes there. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t sitting on the side of the river either.
A nifty tid-bit of information; Europe loves American oldies, Especially music from the 1980′s !
P.S. We’re planing our next stop this Thursday to Zurich, Switzerland.
