In Strasbourg, Alsace, love is well and truly celebrated in February with ten days of events dedicated to l’amour.
Original, glamorous, unique and quirky, the whole city embraces the idea of love.
With its extraordinary UNESCO classified heritage, gorgeous half-timbered houses, picturesque alleyways and small squares, its canals and bridges - Strasbourg is undoubtedly one of the most romantic cities in France.
Throughout the ages, Strasbourg has attracted countless visitors and has been the backdrop to the romances of several famous people, including Victor Hugo and his mistress Juliette Drouet, Honoré de Balzac and Eve Hanska, Goethe and Frédérique Brion…
For the third year in a row, the European capital will celebrate lovers with a programme that is simultaneously poetic, cultural, glamorous, and slightly quirky! Among the highlights of the ten-day event: festive, delightfully retro evenings; gourmet tête-à-tête dinners; ephemeral installations under the stars; exclusive concerts; unusual visits; unexpected encounters… and many surprises!
Romance, attraction and something unique. For a Valentine’s Day like none other, don’t miss “Strasbourg Mon Amour”! Website for details: www.otstrasbourg.fr
