Strasbourg
Strasbourg (in the Bas-Rhin department) is one of the most beautiful French cities I've ever been to. Famous for its Christmas market, it's well worth a visit in the summer.

Strasbourg's Cathedral
Finished in 1439 after centuries of construction, Strasbourg's Notre Dame Cathedral is assymetrical and extraordinary. The tallest Christian building for more than 400 years, the cathedral still towers over the city today.
