Bas-Rhin

The department's culture and architecture are a blend of the two great powers that regularly jostled for the territory throughout its long and intriguing history. The combination of influences makes for a culture and atmosphere as distinctive as any in France.
The people in Strasbourg are friendly and you will find medieval houses, great cathedrals, fine cooking and excellent local wines and beers. The people of the Alsace share the German penchant for beer. You can also enjoy sauerkraut and sausage, washed down with a crisp glass of Riesling. They are most definitely not German - but they do delight in the kaffee and kuchen culture.
