Strasbourg, FRANCE

On Tuesday I was able to travel to France with Christiana's french class for their field trip. Since France is very close to where Neustadt is, it only took 1.5 hours to reach Strasbourg. 3 other American students and my teacher were able to come along as well, so we spent the day in our own mini group exploring the streets and the famous Strasbourg Cathedral and ordering delicious French food.

We were told that this is the oldest building in town.

The Strasbourg Cathedral was so HUGE that I could not even fit it on the camera without capturing much of the buildings detail...

Here is shot from when were were on the street.

When we went inside the Cathedral, it was breathtaking. Not only the architecture, but also the detail in the stained glass was amazing. Strasbourg still has many of it's original stained glass windows, unlike other cathedrals and churches who's windows were destroyed during WWII. To save the windows, they were disassembled and stored in cellars, then false walls were built to protect them even more from damage.  It was quite a process, but well worth it I'd say!
