Bonjour mes amis! Tuesday, December 21, Lee, Kendall, and I left Colmar and traveled to Strasbourg for the day. We visited the Christmas markets around the Strasbourg Cathedral. The delicate Gothic style of the cathedral begun in 1176 and was not finished until 1429. It is a Franco-German mixture that survived the French Revolution, World War I and World War II. We decided to walk to La Petite France for lunch, which is the historic home to Strasbourg's tanners, millers and fishermen. We had lunch in a restaurant called La Tannerie which used to be the warehouse for the tanners. Kendall sampled Foie Gras Poelée (seared goose liver) and loved every bite. Those of you who remember Paul and Marie Elbling who owned and began La Petite France restaurant in Richmond were from this area. This area of Strasbourg is charming as we walked on cobblestone streets which bordered half-timbered homes and its many canals.
