city centre, the Grande
Île (Grand Island) was
classified aWorld Heritage
site by UNESCO in 1988.
Strasbourg is located on
the German border, about
500kms East of Paris but
somehow close to it: the
world’s fastest train will
take you from Paris to
Strasbourg in less than two
hours. Strasbourg is the
seat of several European
institutions, such as the
Council of Europe (with its
European Court of Human
Rights) and the European
Parliament.
