Strasbourg

Just when we successfully navigated all the German markets and could still zip up our pants, we stepped across the border into France. Now all bets are off.

Strasbourg straddles French and German cultures and nowhere is that more apparent than in the markets where you find beignet pretzels and glühwein crepes. Just to one-up Germany, you can sample foie gras in the French market. But the glüwein is served in plastic cups. Sacre bleu!
