📍Petite France, Strasbourg, Alsace 🚇Depart from Paris East Station - Take the TGV to Strasbourg Station 🕖Time required Approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes from Paris 💬As cute and pretty as its name suggests, Petite France has a sad history behind its name. During the war, there were many soldiers with Medoc in the local hospital, and the Germans called syphilis 'the French disease' in German, and began calling this place Petite France because it meant that French people with syphilis lived in a densely populated area. Petite France is famous for its medieval and Renaissance-style wooden buildings built mainly in the 16th and 17th centuries Shops, cafes, and restaurants line the narrow alleys and canals. #SummerTravel
