Strasbourg Cathedral is an impressive building. I’m not a religious person and honestly don’t care too much about Christian monuments but some buildings simply take your breath away and this one is just wow, masterpiece!

Built in the Gothic style, took about 400 years until completed in 1439. At 142 meters it was the tallest building in the world until 1874. It’s full name is Cathedrale Notre Dane de Strasbourg and indeed it looks a lot like the one in Paris which was completed 100 years earlier. Was hard to take good photo of the cathedral but can see the resemblance in the this photo below.

As much as I like German sausages and sauerkraut I was looking forward to the more sophisticated French cuisine.
I’ve ordered Foie Gras and snails in garlic butter with a glass of Crèmant d’Alsace which is their (very good) local sparkling wine. This is my heaven!
