On Sunday morning, some of us went for a stroll around Strasbourg and made use of free entry to museums and the cathedral which is every first Sunday of the month.
While looking for a place to have brunch, we wondered by “La Petite France”, shown below:

We found a very nice cafe which served a tasty brunch, as pictured. In my opioion, it is a work of art which is a shame to spoil. Alas, hunger prevails.
We later ventured up the cathedral, where I took some nice shots:

Inside the cathedral was spectacular. Featured is this astronomical clock, dating from 1843:

Next to the cathedral is Palais Rohan (Rohan Palace) which contains also three museums: the Archaeological Museum (Musée archéologique, basement), the Museum of Decorative Arts (Musée des Arts décoratifs, ground floor) and the Museum of Fine Arts (Musée des Beaux-arts, first and second floor). The city gallery, Galerie Robert Heitz, is also in a side wing of the palace.

Following a tour of our new city, some of us headed to our local Irish bar “The Dubliners” for the Wimbledon (tennis) final.
