The most picturesque part of the old town, a condensed version of Alsace, with half-timbered houses dating from the and centuries
Petite France is a picturesque part of Alsace, with half-timbered buildings from the 16th and 17th centuries, canals and narrow streets. Fishermen, millers and tanners once worked here. The houses have preserved the stair-sloped roofs that housed the attics where hides were dried. Take a look at the beautiful Maison des Tanneurs, built in 1572. Petite France owes its name to the "French disease", or smallpox, which François I 's soldiers used to treat in the local hospital in the 16th century.

des maisons plus belles et typiques les unes que les autres. Dire que ce quartier fut longtemps l'un des plus pauvres et pestilentiel de Strasbourg. je n'ose imaginer le prix des demeures aujourd'hui ! Le tout est de plus très bien entretenu. Une promenade des plus agréables !
