The statue of General Louis-Charles-Antoine Desaix (1768–1800) is among the most impressive historical monuments in the eastern part of Strasbourg. Erected in 1802—just two years after his death—it is one of the earliest monuments of the Napoleonic era. It was a collaborative work by the sculptor Landelin Ohmacht, a prominent Alsatian Neoclassical artist, and the architect Frédéric Weinbrenner, who significantly shaped Strasbourg's urban development in the early 19th century. Desaix was one of the most talented generals of the French Revolution and served under Napoleon Bonaparte. He became famous for his decisive action at the Battle of Marengo, where he was killed in 1800. Napoleon himself is said to have called him "the best of the French." The monument depicts Desaix in a heroic pose, very much in the style of the time, and commemorates Alsace's military importance during the Revolutionary Wars. Today, the statue stands serenely on the Quai du Général Koenig, surrounded by water, green spaces, and historic buildings. It's a beautiful place to pause for a moment and reflect on a piece of French-Alsatian history.

The Canal de la Bruche is a canal in eastern France that originally connected Soultz-les-Bains near Molsheim with the city of Strasbourg. It was built in 1682 by the famous military engineer Vauban, primarily to transport sandstone from the Soultz quarries for the construction of Strasbourg's fortifications.

Dachstein lies off the main roads in Alsace and is therefore less developed for tourism. The village nevertheless boasts some noteworthy buildings, such as: the medieval city gate, the Porte de la Bruche, the Church of St. Martin (Église Saint-Martin), which still retains Gothic elements, a nave, and a Baroque altar; the Renaissance castle (extended in the 19th century in the Neo-Renaissance style) of the de Turckheim family, the Château de Turckheim, or the Vieux Château. It was formerly a summer residence for some of the bishops of Strasbourg; the old washhouse, and the Château Hervé Bourcart, or "La Magnanerie." It is located closer to the village center and was built in 1750 as a private villa that housed the royal silkworm breeding school. It has been owned by the Hervé family since 1838. In the 1990s, the castle and its idyllic surroundings served as the setting for the film saga "The Alsatians." Magnan is an Occitan word meaning mulberry. The Magnanerie is the headquarters of a silkworm farm. The streets of Dachstein are lined with several traditional half-timbered houses, some with carved wooden galleries.

What a beautiful bell tower there is on both sides

We really enjoyed the cycle path along the Canal de la Bruche

A very busy and touristy town with many wine bars and restaurants. An excellent place to spend a day.

It's at the Hangenbieten fishing pond. There are benches to relax on. Very nice spot! 🌳

Beautiful view of the quays of the Rhine-Rhône Canal in Strasbourg.
