Day trip to Strasbourg

This is our last full day of holiday in Alsace so we decided to visit Strasbourg.  We drove about 60km to get there and used a Park and Ride at Baggersee.  They are served by good trams right into the city centre.

Strasbourg is a big place so we couldn't really see everything in a day but we did manage to see the Cathedral and have a good walk around some of the other sights of the area using the Michelin guide vert walking tour suggestion.  We visited the Musée Alsacien and the Museum of Modern and Contemporary art.  We also climbed several hundred steps to get the the 66 metre high viewing platform at the Cathedral.

At the end of the afternoon we got the tram out to the European Parliament building and saw the European Court of Human Rights.

We got back to Ribeauvillé around 8.30pm and had a nice meal and some drinks in a local restaurant..
