Strasbourg

The largest city in the Alsace region is Strasbourg. It is the seat of the European Parliament and the largest city in the Grand Est region of France. Strasbourg dates back to Roman times as a town and celebrated its 2000th anniversary in 1988. As the historic capital of the Bas-Rhin region, Strasbourg was also a location that likely would have been known to my wife's Halter, Hamm, Sigrist and Perisau branches of the family.

With all its history and importance as a European political locale, it is still a place I have not visited. Perhaps that changes in the near future.
