Description
Discover the European District ! At the heart of Europe in Strasbourg.
Europe in Strasbourg has a long history!
For a long time, the city was the cause of discord between the famous Franco-German couple.
Today, Strasbourg is a symbol of this new understanding, and of the hard work of our ancestors who created the European Union and other political institutions.
You'll discover the Wacken district, a fast-growing and dynamic area. New buildings, bike paths, the Ill river running through, all at the foot of the European Court of Human Rights and the Council of Europe. I'll take this opportunity to explain the specific features of these two institutions.
Close to the European District, you'll see some very famous houses Art Nouveau style.
To finish we'll walk through the Ill River to go to the Wacken district, a fast-growing and dynamic area with new buildings, bike paths, the Ill river running through the European Parliament. It's here that the european laws are voted on by deputies from each country. We'll talk about this institution and explain you how it works (outside visit of the Parliament only, no entry).
