Petite France – Petite France is the name given to the small area between the rivers, just south of the Grande Île. It’s home to some of Strasbourg’s prettiest and most photogenic streets and buildings, with half timbered townhouses leaning out over the narrow cobbled streets. Petite France resembles Colmar (a city an hour south), with picturesque canal and half-timber houses.
Orangerie – a beautiful classical park. It has a small free zoo featuring birds and a few other animals. Also has an excellent playground for young children.
Stockfeld, garden city built in the early XXth century in the south-east of the Neuhof (southern part of the town) (bus line 24)
