This was our last day in Strasbourg, so we explored a bit more of the city. We visited the La Petite France neighborhood with the picturesque canals and half-timbered buildings. The area is often referred to as the “Venice of the North”.

While visiting this region of France I discovered Flammekueches which is a pizza like flatbread, but better than pizza. The crust is very thin and they are baked in a scorching hot wood-fired oven. The intense heat cooks the Flammekueche very quickly (often in just a minute or two) and gives the edges a characteristic crispy, almost charred appearance. They are delicious!
