I really love Strassbourg (and Colmar), but I can understand that it’s difficult to find vegetarian food. The French love their meat!

I’d only recently seen the Fossile myself and was intrigued – glad to know it’s good. My history-geekery compels me to inform you that “Petit France” gets its name from the hospital that used to be there to treat all the German soldiers who had contracted what they called “the French disease” – syphillis.
If you come back this way, I’ll give you a tour that will bore you with those and thousands of other facts.

Your posts about the Alsace are making me very unhappy indeed!
I adore the Alsace.

The drive from Stuttgart to Strassbourg takes 40 Minutes and when I lived in Stuttgart I spent almost every second weekend in the Alsace.

I now have to drive almost 4 hours, which puts every second weekend in France out of question!

Perhaps I shall have to consider using trains after all - the problem is, the best restaurants and vinyards are so remote, that I would have to rent a car once I got there anyway ...

... thanks for the memories!

It’s really pretty!! It does suck trying to find Vegi food sometimes. Wherever I go I just carry around an apple in case I find myself starving to death!
It looks a bit like Venice, or Amsterdam
