We decamped from Nancy and drove the relatively short distance to Strasbourg, in Alsace, finding the nice municipal campground and setting up in enough time to take an early evening stroll into the city for the Michelin walk of the old Petit France area.

| Strasbourg's importance was as a port on the Rhine, canals and channels of which we walked past; pretty sure we never saw the main channel; anyhow, it's a watery place, great for those watery reflection pix |
 |
| Three tall defensive towers survive from the olden days; the red sandstone looks really nice in the sunset; the Alsace is one of Europe's many contested places, currently in French hands; we never heard anyone humming "die Wacht am Rhein" but wouldn't have been surprised... |
 |
| We'd see the cathedral the next day |
 |
| Fortified bridge of yore |
 |
| More sunset glow, more reflection |
 |
| If you're into the half-timbered look, Strasbourg is your kind of place |
 |
| Also red sandstone |
 |
| Most of it pretty old |
 |
| But not too old for Thai cuisine |
