Strasbourg


Strasbourg, France is the home of the EU parliament and a bunch of other boring things.
But it also has a spectacular old town situated on their Grande Ile, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
On their Grande Ile is a spectacular Gothic cathedral.


Which had a nice Christmas market at its steps.
And which has one less tower than I figure they were planning on having.
And is decorated with sculptures that a regular schmoe wouldn't expect to see on a church.
Crusifixions, beasts and demons, oh my.
Check it out.
