A Dive into Strasbourg's History
Fast forward to 2026: we now find ourselves in the aftermath of the 1870 war. At the heart of Europe, Strasbourg is gradually rising from its ashes. As the Port of the Rhine plays a central and prosperous commercial role, stonemasons are building the Saint-Paul church by the Ill River, at the intersection of Mullenheim quay and Zorn quay.
