    Dam built from 1686 based on plans by Vauban to defend the city. Now beautiful covered bridge surmounted by an outdoor promenade with nice views of the city.

      The weir was originally built as a defensive structure, allowing downstream areas to be flooded if necessary.

      Today, there's a pedestrian crossing over the Ill River on two levels: inside or on the roof. It's refreshingly cool inside in summer, and you can admire baroque stone figures in some niches. From the top, you'll enjoy one of the most beautiful panoramic views of the Old Town. 👍

        On the northern side of the Passage-Georges-Frankhauser is located directly below the Museum of Modern Art, a modern and reasonably priced parking garage. From here you can pass through the Passage-Georges-Frankhauser, cross the River Ill and get directly into the beautiful district of La Petite France. In the passage itself, historical sandstone figures of Strasbourg's buildings are kept to be restored and mglw. to be brought back to their old places.
