Grande-Ile


Strasbourg has been on the World Heritage List since 1988. Named "Grande-Île", the boundaries of the territory selected are formed by the River Ill and the Faux-Rempart canal. It is linked to the rest of the city by twenty-one bridges and footbridges and constitutes the historic core of the city with many of its central and commercial functions.

The Grande-Île is a coherent geographical entity whose urban fabric is characterised by a continuous development that the major town planning projects have altered little.
