Destination Weddings in Strasbourg

 Hold your destination wedding in Strasbourg, a modern city that still offers all the charm of the Old World.  Built around its famous cathedral, Strasbourg is rich in art treasures and holds the prestigious status of one of the three capitals of Europe. It is a city enveloped by lazy canals; creating a romantic and relaxing atmosphere for all who visit. The city of Strasbourg offers a wealth of beautiful architecture in particular with the spectacular Notre Dame Cathedral; one of the finest and most original Gothic constructions in France.  The best view of the cathedral is from Rue Merciere.  Work began on in 1015 on a Romanesque edifice on a sight of a temple that was dedicated to Hercules.  The edifice owes a lot of its charm to the pink sandstone from the Vosges from which it was built.  The architects of the cathedral were later influenced by Gothic art newly introduced in the region.  The abbey was completed in 1284 but the 142m spire was not placed until 1439.  On a nice bright day the stained glass windows shine like jewels, especially the rose window over the western portal.

There are many beautiful sights and venues in and around Strasbourg.  When you are in this city you can’t help but be drawn to the richness of its cultural heritage; walking through the Old town and its charming streets is an delightful experience.  The most famous quarter is known as La Petite France; once a district for fisherman’s, tanner’s and millers’, it is today by far the most interesting and best-preserved area of old Strasbourg.  The Quai de la Petite France running along the side the canal offer you that romantic view of the old houses reflecting in the water.  This city is well known for its many art galleries and museums but the most fascinating fact about Strasbourg is that the whole city centre has been classified as world heritage.
