One of the main points to visit in Strasbourg is the Petite France historic centre. The paths will lead you to one of the most beautiful points of the city called “The Ponts Couverts”. According to Wikipedia, the bridges erected in the 13thcentury on the River III. They are essentially, sets of three bridges and four towers that make up a defensive work.

The towers, river, nature and historical buildings gives the impression of a magical Fairy Tale. If you go to the Barrage Vauban you will get a panoramic view that you will never forget. Strasbourg has charm and the Ponts Couverts will heighten that sense. We thought it was one of the most memorable and unique places we visited in Europe. Most importantly, it’s totally FREE to walk around and get the panoramic views.

Our Ratings Serge: 5 Eli: 5

Recommend: 100% recommended, you will feel like you are in a Fairy Tale.

Tips:

Bring comfortable shoes to walk. If you can, go to the top roof of Barrage Vauban to get the best view from the Ponts Couverts. The weather in spring can be chilly, make sure to bring warm clothes and...

The Ponts Couverts, or Covered Bridges, are a historic ensemble of bridges located in Strasbourg, France. Dating back to the 13th century, these bridges once served as a defensive structure for the city, with covered sections protecting the bridges from attackers. The ensemble consists of four medieval bridges and three towers, which were part of the city's fortifications. Today, the Ponts Couverts are a picturesque landmark, offering visitors a glimpse into Strasbourg's rich history and architectural heritage. They are often illuminated at night, adding to their charm and creating a scenic backdrop for strolls along the riverbanks. The Ponts Couverts are a testament to Strasbourg's strategic importance and its evolution from a medieval stronghold to a modern...

Dans le prolongement du quartier de la Petite France se trouvent les Ponts Couverts. Ils ont gardé leur nom malgré la disparition de leur toiture au XVIIIe siècle. Ils sont dominés par quatre tours du XIVe siècle, vestiges des anciens remparts, garants de l’indépendance de la république strasbourgeoise. Immédiatement après le rattachement de Strasbourg à la France en 1681, une nouvelle ceinture de fortifications fut construite par Vauban(Sébastien Le Prestre(1er mai 1633 - 30 mars 1707), est un ingénieur, architecte militaire, urbaniste, ingénieur hydraulicien et essayiste français. Il est nommé maréchal de France par Louis XIV.

Vauban préfigure, par nombre de ses écrits, les philosophes du siècle des Lumières. Comme le souligne Fontenelle dans l'éloge funèbre prononcé devant l'Académie, Vauban a une vision scientifique, sinon mathématique de la réalité et en fait un large usage dans ses activités.

Expert en poliorcétique (c'est-à-dire en l'art d'organiser l'attaque ou la défense lors du siège d'une ville, d'un lieu ou d'une place forte), il donne au royaume de France une « ceinture de fer » pour faire de la France un pré carré — selon son expression — protégé par une ceinture de citadelles. Il conçoit ou améliore une centaine de places fortes. L'ingénieur n'a pas l'ambition de construire des forteresses inexpugnables, car la stratégie consiste alors à gagner du temps en obligeant l'assaillant à mobiliser des effectifs dix fois supérieurs à ceux de l'assiégé. Il dote la France d'un glacis qui la rend inviolée durant tout le règne de Louis XIV — à l'exception de la citadelle de Lille prise une fois — jusqu'à la fin du xviiie siècle, période où les forteresses sont rendues obsolètes par les progrès de l'artillerie.

La fin de sa vie est marquée par l'affaire de La Dîme royale : dans cet essai, distribué sous le manteau malgré l'interdiction qui le frappe, Vauban propose un audacieux programme de réforme fiscale pour tenter de résoudre les injustices sociales et les difficultés économiques des « années de misère » de la fin du règne du Roi Soleil (la grande famine de 1693-1694 fait 1,3 million de morts, soit un vingtième de la...
