City Overview
Strasbourg is the seat of the European Parliament and the Council of Europe — a "capital of Europe" on the Franco-German border, with its cathedral and the Petite France district as World Heritage. EU institutions, diplomacy, universities and biopharma thrive, with a German-French cultural blend and encircling canals. Living and housing costs are below Paris, it is bike-friendly (among France’s highest cycling rates) and safe — the European-affairs and cultural center of eastern France.
