More of France



This was a candy store and when you walked in they gave you a fresh cookie as a sample.... does it get any better beautiful art and a cookie !
Through out the city there are these painted doorways. Beautiful works of art just welcoming you into the shops.  I felt like I was in a living museum it was so wonderful. H especially liked this one.... I have to agree this is really  descriptive.


Yes Strasbourg is this picturesque in the winter can you imagine in the spring or summer when everything is in bloom I may faint from the beauty.
I am sure in the summer this building just glimmers in the sunlight it has bright orange awnings on all of the windows... I am anxious to see this in the summer.
Another of the many churches scattered throughout Strasbourg. Each is so beautiful.
The mixture of old and new is so unique and you can definitely tell the German and French influences. All of  different periods and styles seem to mesh seamlessly despite the distinct differences.
The swans that P loves so much..... he even quacks at them and calls them ducky puppies..... confused perhaps but he loves them and talks to them and squeals with excitement when he sees them. I have to admit to see beautiful swans all over is very cool.
