Jardin des Deux Rives — Attraction in Strasbourg

Nice and quiet places on both French and German shores of the river called "The Rhin". Those are separated with a nice bridge called: the Mimram bridge (it took the name of the architect who designed it). It was inaugurated in 2004. In my opinion, the best moment to cross the bridge is on a sunset... The lights are just amazing. 👍 There have been se amenities on both sides... On the French side, you can walk through different kind of garden as well as a kid playground, so everyone can enjoy the place. On the German side, you can also take a walk along "The Rhin" or go to a nice little place with water jets popping from the ground and let the kids play (needless to say this can only be done in summer 😁). I guess there must some other gems here, I'm sorry but since i'm French, i most likely don't know or missed some of them... If you are keen on visiting new places or just bored and don't know what to do, come spend se.te at the "Deux-Rives" garden. Both sides are...

Walked thru and over the small bridges to get to the main plazas.

Loved the contrasting architecture that rebuilt the war worn destroyed buildings yet kept the character of the past. The craftsmanship of the cathedrals and churches are spectacular to admire. Was amazed at the longevity of the religious houses of worship and the beautiful stained glass windows and rose windows.Each religious statue was carved to meet the architectural and aesthetic demands. Each church has its own distinct uniqueness and beauty.

Can't possibly replicate these historic art pieces. The mixed blend works and is very much appreciated.

We also came upon a commemorative ceremony celebrating the anniversary of the freeing of France from Germany's control during the war. Military troops from various nations honored.their cooperative efforts and then attended a special Mass at the Cathedral of Alsace.

See the beauty of this over 600 year old sycamore tree...

🇩🇪 Der Park ist auf französischer Seite sehr hübsch gestaltet und sauber. Über die Brücke kann man die Ländergrenze zu Fuß oder mit dem Fahrrad überqueren. Definitiv einen Besuch wert, wenn man in der Gegend ist. Leider war die deutsche Seite in Kehl im Vergleich dazu sehr spartanisch gestaltet. Hier reichte es zudem nicht einmal zu einer kleinen Beflaggung mit der französischen, deutschen und europäischen Fahne. Fand ich etwas respektlos gegenüber unseren französischen Nachbarn, die alle drei Flaggen aufgestellt hatten. Zumal am Tag unseres Besuchs auf französischer Seite ein deutsch-französisches Fest stattgefunden hatte. Sehr schade, liebe Stadt Kehl!

🇫🇷 Le parc est très joliment aménagé et propre du côté français. Le pont permet de traverser la frontière à pied ou à vélo. Il vaut vraiment la peine d'être visité si vous êtes dans la région. Malheureusement, le côté allemand à Kehl était très spartiate en comparaison. Ici, il n'y avait même pas assez de drapeaux français, allemands et européens. J'ai trouvé cela un peu irrespectueux vis-à-vis de nos voisins français, qui avaient mis en place les trois drapeaux. D'autant plus que le jour de notre visite, une fête franco-allemande avait eu lieu du côté français. C'est bien dommage, chère ville de Kehl !

🇬🇧 The park on the French side is very nicely designed and clean. You can cross the border on foot or by bike over the bridge. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. Unfortunately, the German side in Kehl was very spartan in comparison. There was not even enough flagging with the French, German and European flags. I found that a bit disrespectful towards our French neighbours, who had put up all three flags. Especially since on the day of our visit, a Franco-German festival had taken place on the French side. What a pity, dear...
