Take a leisurely stroll at the speed of the current, away from the large avenues (allée de la Robertsau, avenue de l’Europe, avenue des Vosges). Relax on a bench and watch the sightseeing boats, canoes, kayaks and rowboats go by on the river.

Cross the Ducrot footbridge and take a selfie with the Giraffe Man statue (by artist Stephan Balkenhol) in front of TV channel ARTE’s head office. Continue on rue du Général Ducrot and discover the beautiful buildings around the parc des Contades (towards the Neustadt quarter).

On avenue de la Paix-Simone Veil, the tram tracks perfectly align with the Cathedral, creating a striking view.
