"Arrive in Kehl this morning and disembark
for your guided tour of Strasbourg. See the European Parliament
and tour the interior of the city’s famed cathedral.
Free time allows you to further explore this
Alsatian city’s blend of French and German cultures—
fabulous churches, medieval covered bridges, beautiful parks
and some lovely Art Nouveau and modernist architecture..." (VRC)
