Strasbourg - Cathedral Horlage Astronomic Clock

Skip the video.We saw the clock without video but many years ago.
You should eat a restaurant with an Alsatian menu in Strasbourg since that will be the local cuisine.
Take a river cruise.

Thanks for your input Suki. we definitely plan to eat some Alsatian meals while we're in Alsace.

I've not been there yet so no first hand knowledge but the Cathedral website does say the film is in French, German and English.

Now I'm calculating timing for my visit from a Colmar base and looks like I need to be there before 11 to purchase a ticket. Plus the walk from the train station, plus a pit stop, lolol.

Thanks for that update Pam. I had read a blog that stated it was only in French/German. Good to know it's in English too now. Maybe we will consider watching it then. I had also read that you can get there at 1130 and buy your ticket then. There will be 2 lines - 1 for ticket holders and 1 to purchase tickets. However, to be safe might be a good idea to buy them prior to 11am to ensure you get in as there is a limit to the number of people allowed in. They may be allowing more in now that Covid restrictions are loosening up but since it is inside I'm sure there is still some max limit. Bonne Soiree!

I was in that cathedral and never saw the clock! Well in my defense it was Christmas time so everything was crazy, and it was cold dark and rainy.

Oh that's too bad Phred. Hopefully you'll get back there again someday.

As for a lunch spot, I've done some reading and here's a list of ones we're considering.
• Maison Kammerzell: I originally wanted to try this place but very mixed reviews. Looks like a lovely setting.
• Restaurant au Dauphin:
• Caveau Gurtlerhoft:
• Winstub Le Clou:

• Chez Yvonne:
• Le Tire Bouchon:
• Muensterstuewel:
• Le Cornichon Masque Strasbourg:
Any input to narrow down this list or other favorite to consider? Thank you.

We tried to have dinner at La Schloss on Rue de Serruiers, which was a funky kind of bar. Unfortunately the chef decided not to come in that night. Nice place to have a bevvie though.

We did the tour of the astronomic clock In Strasbourg but we had 2 nights there. I think you could find this sort of background information online somewhere if you wanted to skip the video. We did see the video, though.

We had a lovely meal at À la Tête de Lard located at 3 Rue Hannong, 67000, Strasbourg. Try the Flammekueche, a specialty of the region of Alsace! I looked on line and it appears to be open for business which is great news. We also had dinner at a place on a canal there, an upstairs room but I cannot find the information in my notes. Oh wait, hubby had a picture. It was Maison deS Tanneurs and was built in 1570ish maybe? Check out their website: Maison-des-tanneurs.com.

We loved Strasbourg but we were there during the Christmas markets so that really occupied a lot of our time there.

Also keep in mind there are churches other than the famous cathedral in town, we visited one that had a well thought out setup for tourists including a large laminated tour card (in various languages). Obviously not as crowded as the main attraction. I believe it was this one

Merci Kathy and Phred for the tips on cathedral and/or restaurants. We'll have to consider Maison des Tanneurs for lunch. I had it on my list as a photo op but guess it wouldn't be too far to back track to have lunch there if food is good and mostly for the nice setting of the historic bldg and on the canal. I'll check out the other places too. Bonne Journee!
