Strasbourg, France : One of the many bridges of Strasbourg
You can read the bridges of Strasbourg like a history book. In 1988 Unesco gave World Heritage status to the Grande Île, the island enclosed by the Ill river and a loop of the Marne-Rhine canal in the oldest part of Strasbourg. Starting in Petite France and working your way north to the European Institutions is a great way to learn the history of Strasbourg, as each bridge reveals a layer in the development of the great city.
The Covered Bridges
Right on the very tip of the Grand Île beyond the Petite France area we come to the Covered Bridges. Despite losing their tiled roofs back in the 18th century, the name remains. They are overlooked by four towers dating from the 14th century, which are the remains of the former ramparts although immediately after the absorption of Strasbourg by France in 1681, a new ring of fortifications was built superseding these fortifications.
Pont du Corbeau
The charming narrow streets and half-timbered waterside homes belie a tumultuous and not always pretty past. In the Middle Ages, the Pont du Corbeau (raven bridge) was the place of public executions. It was known as the bridge of torture. Those condemned to death were locked in a cage and exposed on the bridge to passers-by for a few days before being tossed to their death in the dark waters below.

Pont de Saverne
If you take the tram from the train station you will probably be passing by the Saverne bridge. The first wooden bridge existed here already in the 12th century. With the catchy name of Bischofsburgethorbrücke, the first structure was a simple wooden footbridge. In 1835, the wooden pillars were replaced by stone and later reinforced in 1970. With the arrival of the tram in 2009, the bridge was destroyed and completely rebuilt.
Pont Royal or Gallia
Another bridge traversed by the tram, the Pont Royal is mostly known by the name of Gallia. When the first bridge was built in the 15th century, the site was actually outside of the city ramparts, and was protected by two towers. In 1670, it was replaced by a pedestrian drawbridge that would be raised to allow commercial boats to pass. In 1840, the bridge was destroyed and rebuilt as a six-arch stone bridge so it would be resistant to fire and be used by modern artillery. In spite of being the most solid bridge so far, it was destroyed during the siege of 1870 and it was left to the Germans to rebuild it and integrate it into the new district of Neustadt during the feverish Imperial expansion of the city that saw it grow threefold in scope. As opposed to crooked and narrow streets on the Grande Île, the ‘new town’ had broad boulevards and straight streets that were more modern — and easier to police.

Pont de la Dordogne
The name of the bridge, “Dordogne” was given in honor of the department of the Dordogne in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, which welcomed thousands of Alsatian refugees during the occupation in World War II. This bridge has the dubious record of being the most highly anticipated project in Strasbourg, by reason of the endless number of preliminary projects it went through before it ever came to fruition. From 1880, the date on which the construction of a bridge was decided, all the way to 1962, when the works really began, several generations of architects succeeded each other with project after project in all shapes and forms.
Europe Bridge
The bridge was inaugurated in 1960 and the name of Pont de l’Europe signified the return of the peace in Europe and in particular the Franco-German reconciliation. This followed a long succession of ill-fated bridges, the first one dating to 1388, that were successive victims to the violent conflicts between the two nations.
The Passerelle des Deux Rives
The newest bridge, dedicated to pedestrians and cyclists, was built in 2004 approximately one mile east of the city. The structure is called the Passerelle Mimram but is mostly known as the Passerelle des Deux Rives as it spans the two shores of the Rhine, linking France and Kehl in Germany. There is a huge park on both banks called the Jardin des Deux Rives. In 2009, heads of state shook hands on the bridge to mark Nato’s 60th anniversary.

STORYLINE
NATO leaders and heads of state gathered on Saturday midway across a bridge separating Germany and France in a moment of symbolic unity ahead of a summit likely to see disagreements about Afghanistan and the alliance's future.
The guests were first greeted by Germany Chancellor Angela Merkel before walking to the symbolic meeting point where they were joined by the summit's co-host, French President Nicolas Sarkozy.
For Saturday's closing conference, US President Barack Obama and the allies are to address issues facing NATO six decades after it was formed as a bulwark against the former Soviet Union and as a spur to the kind of European integration that the co-hosts, former World War II enemies France and Germany, exemplify.
They are also planning to welcome two new members, Croatia and Albania.
Also on the agenda: applauding Sarkozy's decision to return France to full participation on NATO's military councils, after a 43-year absence.
Speaking in Baden-Baden on Friday, President Obama made clear that his administration wanted to press the allies to craft a new framework that would define NATO's roles, missions and way of functioning.
The leaders are expected to issue a declaration on Saturday to formally launch a strategic project in response.
It will be the first such revision of the alliance's purpose and function since 1999, before the September 11, 2001 attacks that propelled the United States into Afghanistan and a conflict that, almost eight years later, is worsening and growing more complex.
Other topics of discussion included Russia, which strongly opposes further eastward expansion of NATO, and the prospect of accelerating arms control talks.
The leaders were expected to endorse a return to normal relations with Russia, nine months after Moscow invaded Georgia.
The allies were expected to declare in a closing communique that they endorse a united way forward in Afghanistan, with more emphasis on non-military aspects of the struggle.
Obama said upon his arrival in Strasbourg on Friday that Europe should not expect the United States to bear the combat burden alone.

Places to see in ( Strasbourg - France ) Strasbourg Pont Couverts
The Ponts Couverts are a set of three bridges and four towers that make up a defensive work erected in the 13th century on the River Ill in the city of Strasbourg in France. The three bridges cross the four river channels of the River Ill that flow through Strasbourg's historic Petite France quarter. The Ponts Couverts have been classified as a Monument historique since 1928.
Construction of the Ponts Couverts commenced in 1230, and they were opened in 1250. As a defensive mechanism, they were superseded by the Barrage Vauban, just upstream, in 1690, but remained in use as bridges.
As built, each of the bridges was covered by a wooden roof that served to protect the defenders who would have been stationed on them in time of war. These roofs were removed in 1784, but name Ponts Couverts (covered bridges) has remained in common use ever since.

Strasbourg - The revival of tourism in Alsace - LUXE.TV
** Exploring the old town in an open boat
** Famous Alsacian Beer
** La petit France district
** The Roman Catholic cathedral, the gothic style
Half-timbered houses ...Boats to explore the city ...Original gourmet dishes ...We are in Strasbourg, in the land of storks and the cathedral with a single tower. Strasbourg is one of the top destinations in France for tourists worldwide. Like all tourist areas in France, the capital of Alsace has suffered from the negative effects of the July 14th attack in Nice. But since then, its tourism capital has enabled it to finish the holiday season with visitor numbers close to those of summer 2014, and 2015’s numbers have broken all the records. It is foreign visitors who have chosen an alternative destination to France. If in 2015 foreign tourists made up 65% of visitors to Strasbourg today the proportion has fallen to 55%. The major defections are from Asia and first and foremost from Japan. It is these travellers with high purchasing power who are missing. The gap has been filled by visitors from neighbouring European countries such as Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands.
August this year is expected to be in second place in 2016 for visitor numbers after December, which is expected to regain first place as usual thanks to the famous Strasbourg Christmas market. There is no indication that this will not continue, at least from 25th November to 25th December.
Two night-time attractions have substantially contributed to bringing in new European tourists: First, exploring the old town in an open boat. This trip, lasting an hour and ten minutes, can be taken throughout the year. This river journey lets you discover no end of taverns serving sophisticated dishes made from everyday ingredients. You can try the beer of Alsace as well. Half the beer drunk in France is produced here.The second main attraction is restricted to the summer months: the Sound and Light show on the cathedral facade.In a few moments we will see some more images from this Sound and Light show.
Meanwhile, we enter the district of La Petite France by water. The tannery district has been a Unesco World Heritage Site since 1988.Tourists have chosen both La Petite France and the Roman Catholic cathedral as the top two places to visit in Strasbourg. This cathedral is a unique example of Gothic architecture. It was constructed on a site dedicated to the god Mars during the Roman occupation. 8 and a half million visitors a year make the journey to Strasbourg to visit the Cathedral and to explore the unique surroundings of La Petite France. After La Petite France, we head to the Barrage Vauban, built over the course of 7 years beginning in 1681 according to Vauban’s plans. It is a sophisticated system of locks intended to flood the land to the south of the city in case of invasion. The Barrage Vauban faces the Covered Bridges. Back to the cathedral’s Sound and Light show for the third tableau. The cathedral’s 142-metre tower, on which this audio-visual creation is projected, made it the tallest building in the world until 1874. To this day, Strasbourg still has the second highest cathedral in France after the one in Rouen.
At a time when the French government wants, despite the recent attacks, to increase its efforts to attract 100 million foreign visitors to France within 4 years, Strasbourg sets the standard. It has successfully capitalised on its tourist assets and proactively sells itself as a world visitor destination. For the record, the milestone of 85 million tourists in France was achieved in 2015. An example of Strasbourg’s dynamism, the Sound and Light show is changed every year to be a creation unique in all of France. To finish our trip to Strasbourg, we offer you the chance to discover some other beautiful images of the Alsatian capital.

Places to see in ( Strasbourg - France )
Strasbourg is the capital city of the Alsace-Champagne-Ardenne-Lorraine region in northeastern France. It's also the formal seat of the European Parliament and sits near the German border, with culture and architecture blending German and French influences. Its Gothic Cathédrale Notre-Dame features daily shows from its astronomical clock and sweeping views of the Rhine River from partway up its 142m spire.
Strasbourg is the seat of several European institutions, such as the Council of Europe (with its European Court of Human Rights, its European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines and its European Audiovisual Observatory) and the Eurocorps, as well as the European Parliament and the European Ombudsman of the European Union. The city is also the seat of the Central Commission for Navigation on the Rhine and the International Institute of Human Rights.
Strasbourg's historic city centre, the Grande Île (Grand Island), was classified a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1988, the first time such an honour was placed on an entire city centre. Strasbourg is immersed in the Franco-German culture and although violently disputed throughout history, has been a bridge of unity between France and Germany for centuries, especially through the University of Strasbourg, currently the second largest in France, and the coexistence of Catholic and Protestant culture. The largest Islamic place of worship in France, the Strasbourg Grand Mosque, was inaugurated by French Interior Minister Manuel Valls on 27 September 2012.
Economically, Strasbourg is an important centre of manufacturing and engineering, as well as a hub of road, rail, and river transportation. The port of Strasbourg is the second largest on the Rhine after Duisburg, Germany.
The city is chiefly known for its sandstone Gothic Cathedral with its famous astronomical clock, and for its medieval cityscape of Rhineland black and white timber-framed buildings, particularly in the Petite France district or Gerberviertel (tanners' district) alongside the Ill and in the streets and squares surrounding the cathedral, where the renowned Maison Kammerzell stands out.
Notable medieval streets include Rue Mercière, Rue des Dentelles, Rue du Bain aux Plantes, Rue des Juifs, Rue des Frères, Rue des Tonneliers, Rue du Maroquin, Rue des Charpentiers, Rue des Serruriers, Grand' Rue, Quai des Bateliers, Quai Saint-Nicolas and Quai Saint-Thomas. Notable medieval squares include Place de la Cathédrale, Place du Marché Gayot, Place Saint-Étienne, Place du Marché aux Cochons de Lait and Place Benjamin Zix.
he city has many bridges, including the medieval and four-towered Ponts Couverts that, despite their name, are no longer covered. Next to the Ponts Couverts is the Barrage Vauban, a part of Vauban's 17th-century fortifications, that does include a covered bridge.

The European Union's Tower of Babel
Why was the European Union's Parliament Building in Strasbourg modeled on a painting of the unfinished Tower of Babel? Does it speak of unfinished business and an ever expanding European Union? Or is something even more sinister going on? Stephen Green, National Director of Christian Voice, traveled to Strasbourg in March 2016 to find out.
With the United Kingdom getting ready to leave the EU following the referendum on 23rd June 2016, this is a video you need to watch to the end, and then share as widely as possible.
