The old municipal grain store

Build in 1441, restored in 2002, the building is a huge 130 meters long. It helped the city manage it's subsistance policy in terms of combating food shortage and grain speculation. Nowadays,  it houses workshops, rehearsal and music studios on the Opéra National du Rhin, Rhine National Opera.

A bony weekend reflection

Some exhibition at the Alsatian museum, musée alsacien, exhibition called "Fantasmagorie". The old tollhouse, ancienne douane, now a trendy restaurant, in the background.

The phantasmagoria designates a spectacle of projection of luminous figures animated in the dark, simulating supernatural appearances.

Fancy a bretzel?

Well, bretzels are important in local tradition!
 

One becomes many

Free as a bird

Can't go on holidays. Can't move more than 10 km from home. Can't go to Germany, 3 km away. Can't go out between 7 pm and 6 am. Can't go. Birds don't care about my slight case of cabin fever, they just fly away...
