Although I was born in Chile, I consider Strasbourg to be my home town as I grew up there, and met my husband there as well, so it’s always with great pleasure that we stroll the streets of this gem of a town with our children. On top of having the most beautiful cathedral in the world and a perfectly preserved medieval town within the town, it is now a haven of peace as most of it’s town centre is pedestrian, and any street opened to car traffic is considered a shared space with pedestrians and bikes, so 20 km/h zone….so wish our deciders in Marseille could visit Strasbourg and see the light…
