Strasbourg: Don't ever tell an Alsatian (that's how you call the inhabitants of Alsace) that he's German ! ;-) ... because the town may seem quite germanic compared to the rest of France. Here, you have one (if not the) the biggest cathedrals in the country. Go and see it, it's HUMUNGEOUS. I also reccommend a visit to a traditional restaurant and ordering 'Flamm keuch', which looks like a ridiculous paper-thin pizza with ham + onions but it's far more filling than it looks. For night-life, I definately recommend ordering a 'meter of beer', which is exactly what it sounds like, i.e. enough glasses to measure a metre when side by side. You don't normally drink that on your own... ;-) Visit this site for more info: www.visit-alsace.com/
