Local products

One of a kind vending machine in the central train station, selling fresh local Alsatian products: Sauerkraut, complete with potatoes and sausages, horseradish (aka "Alsatian wasabi"), goose liver, munster (a very smelly cheese), different sausages, jam... A gueter! Bon appétit!
 

Electric

Number 10 city bus, in front of the central train station. Strasbourg is a green municipality, all tramways and most busses run on electricity.

Does anyone still send postcards? Can' remember the last time I did. If I did, I would choose a vintage one.
 

Last day of summer

 

Not only for Christmas!

Traditional Alsatian kugelopf (many ways to write it), originally eaten for Christmas. You can get them (or make them) anytime and everywhere now. Either sweet, with raisins and almonds, or salty, with bacon bits and nuts. I love them both!

Do you need...
