2. Cathedrale Notre Dame de Strasbourg

4.5 based on 14,746 reviews
This huge cathedral, Strasbourg's most famous landmark, is an intimidating example of 13th-century Gothic architecture.
Reviewed By garryh702 - Port Coquitlam, Canada
From your first glimpse of the magnificent structure from blocks away to the breath-taking view when you enter the square surrounding this gigantic almost-eerie Gothic monument, it is truly overwhelming and awe-inspiring. My opinion is that it surpasses it's namesake - Notre Dame in Paris. Inside, the huge rose window, the pipe organ, the astrological clock all are simply amazing - especially when you consider they are all 5 or 6 centuries old.

Strasbourg's historic district La Petite France is gorgeous, complete with canals, bridges and half-timbered architecture.Just what you would expect to see in a "Once Upon A Time" fairy tale. Don't miss this area when in Strasbourg.

Vast collection of paintings and sculptures features the Retable d'Issenheim (Issenheim Altarpiece,) considered to be the most important piece of art in the museum.

It was used as a Monastery in 13AD when constructed. Later on in 19AD turned into a Museum as a Romanesque -Gothic syle. Nowadays you can see the paintings remaining from Medieval time. Artists such as Monet, Dubuffet and picasso paintings are also exhebited. Intereting place to see.

This is a stunning cathedral! It’s amazing, intricate, beautiful and awe inspiring from the outside and dramatic and breath taking from the inside. It’s sheer size and height is amazing and I’ve never seen such a wonderful set of stain glass windows ranging from the very old to ultra modern contemporary. It has a fascinating history and of course don’t miss the statue if the smiling angel. Now one of my favourite Cathedrals! .... and returning after dark (in summer) you can be treated to a superb light show projected onto front of Cathedral ... fantastic! Well done Reims.

We originally thought all champagne houses were far away from the downtown and only had 24 hrs in Reims. The tourist center recommended us to get the 1 day pass, and we were able to book an English tour for the next morning. This site used to be an abby from the 3rd century, which became the cellar now. The tour was interesting, and our tour guide Frankie was amazing! I'd highly recommend this tour.

One of the tallest cathedrals in France, the 12th-century building is also known for its extensive use of stained-glass windows.
Reviewed By thomasozbun - Vicenza, Italy
Mostly built in the Gothic style between the 13th and 16th centuries it holds the largest expanse of stained glass in the world, most of which from famous artists throughout history such as Hermann von Munster from the 13th century and modernist Marc Chagall from the 20th. As soon as we entered, in fact, the interior was immense and amazing with a huge nave all decorated with stained glass. We also admired the sculpted extior too, built in the local yellow Jaumont Limestone.

- The last time we were in Paris we were unable to book a tour because tours are only available from Mar 6 to Dec 29th so please keep that in mind if you want to make this a part of your Paris vacation. - We signed up for the Aromatically Yours tour and that is the one I would recommend. You will get to try 4 Vintage selections unlike the other tours where you try only try the non-vintage Yellow or Rose. - Scheduling was a little challenging as the tour began at 10AM and the train schedule from Paris in Reims either dropped us off at the Reims station at 9:55 or like 2 hours earlier. We ended up taking the train that got us to Reims at 9:55 and a quick 5min cab ride got us to Veuve Clicquot in time for the tour. - I forget his name but the gentleman who led our tour was absolutely phenomenal. He gave us so much information on the history of Veuve Clicquot and how the grapes are grown and harvested and made into champagne; we learned about the different vintages, etc. Next we were taken to a room where he passed around and later tasted some of the different scents/flavors that we would experience from the 4 different vintages we would later try. It really enhanced the experience of the tasting as I could immediately taste and smell some of the things he pointed out. - Next we were lead down into the miles of caverns where all Veuve Clicquot champagne is stored. It was amazing to see all those old bottles and started to make you thirsty to try them. - Finally we were lead to a lovely alcove in the caverns where a beautiful tasting was setup. We all had 4 glasses in front of us that was also accompanied by a cheese. We were given 4 vintages to try: 1990 Rose, 2008 Rose, 1989, and 2012. Keep in mind Veuve Clicquot does not make vintages every year and only does so when the tasters feel that a certain batch of grapes harvested warrant making a vintage year. Each had a very distinct flavor and you can taste the difference in age between the older 1990 and 1989 vs the 2008 and 2012. The cheese pairings were also a great compliment to the cheese. - Be prepared to dress warm as it is a little chilly and damp in the caverns and you will spend an extended period of time down there during the tastings. - Make sure you have a big breakfast as you will be having a minimum of 4 full glasses of champagne by about 11AM. I think the max # of people in this tour is 8 which is enough to give everyone a full glass of each vintage however, if for some reason your tour has less people you will be given more so you finish the bottles. If you are not careful you can get tipsy before the end of the tour. - After the tasting you walk just a little while more passing over year after year of vintages and then you finally climb back upstairs where you will then have a chance to visit the gift shop and purchase some of the bottles you just tasted some of which are not readily available outside of the domaine. - After the tour you are a good 15-20 min walk away from the center of Reims so I would highly suggest you get a business card from the taxi driver who dropped you off so you can call a cab to get back to town because cabs do not pass the domaine on their own. Also, if you are brave Taittinger is a 5 min walk nearby and you can try taking another tour/tasting before you head back to town. - After your tour enjoy walking around Reims, The Cathedrale Notre Dame is beautiful and worth a visit and if you want to eat/shop then definitely walk down the Place Drouet d'Erlon which is full of shops/cafes/restaurants and leads back to the train station.
10. Little Venice
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 5,798 reviews
The « little Venice » is the name given to the course of the Lauch in Colmar. This name probably came from the original line of the houses on both sides of the river, which serves the southeast of the city. This district starts behind the Koïfhus, goes through the fishmonger's district and to the bridges Turenne and Saint-Pierre. It is therefore at the beginning of the Krutenau, whose etymology refers to places of market gardening on the outskirts of the towns. Originally inhabited by a rural community of wine-producers, market gardeners and boatmen, the Krutenau stretches out around the Turenne Street that the marshal took in 1674 for his triumphant entry in the city. Boat rides are possible there.

This is a key area of Colmar and contains a small river (canal) that runs through it - this was because the market gardeners in the past used to grow their produce outside the city and then brought it in in small boats You can take a small boat and cruise the area and get a different view of the old town houses
