On an island in the River Ill, a city has been fought over for centuries. French and German, Catholic and Protestant, medieval and modern — Strasbourg holds all these contradictions at once.

"Strasbourg is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, one of those that leave a deep impression." — Victor Hugo
