Petite France
As you stroll around Strasbourg, sooner or later you'll reach the picturesque Petite France (Little France). On the banks
of the Ill river, at the west end of the historic center, cobbled streets are lined with lovely medieval and Renaissance timbered
houses, dripping with colorful geraniums and shaded by ancient trees. Little France got its name in the 16th century, when
sufferers of syphilis were isolated here, to keep them well away from “worthier” citizens.
