Grande Île is the historic heart of Strasbourg and the first entire city center in France to be listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Encircled by the River Ill, this island is a showcase of centuries of architecture, from medieval half‑timbered houses to Renaissance palaces and Gothic masterpieces. At its core stands the Cathédrale Notre‑Dame, whose soaring spire dominates the skyline, while surrounding squares such as Place Kléber and Place Gutenberg reflect the city’s civic and cultural life. The Grande Île is also home to picturesque canals, lively markets, and elegant bridges that connect its neighborhoods, making it a vibrant blend of history and daily life. Walking through its streets reveals Strasbourg’s unique identity as a crossroads of French and German heritage, where every corner tells a story of resilience and continuity. Today, the Grande Île remains a living monument, inviting visitors to experience the soul of Strasbourg in an atmosphere both timeless and dynamic.
