About this tour
This walk focuses on the Neustadt, the 19th-century district built when Strasbourg was part of the German Empire. Starting at Place Kléber, you move onto Avenue de la Marseillaise to see the wide, planned streets up close. Thomas explains what makes the planning style so different from the medieval core nearby.
The session opens with a brief sound check on the square, then follows the avenue at a relaxed pace. Thomas answers questions live and points the camera at whatever detail prompted them. He sends a short list of the stops by message once the call ends.
It suits anyone curious about 19th-century urban planning or Strasbourg's German period specifically. It also pairs well with a separate old town session for contrast.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later

Itinerary
-
Welcome and sound check 5 min
The guide joins the video call, checks the picture and sound with you, and gives you a quick sense of Strasbourg before heading out.
-
Place Kléber 21 min
The camera pans across the square's uniform 18th-century façades. I point out the general's statue and explain the odd story of where his remains eventually ended up.
-
Avenue de la Marseillaise 21 min
You see one of the Neustadt's widest avenues, its buildings set back behind small front gardens. I explain why German planners designed the streets this way, unlike the tighter old town.
-
Your questions 9 min
Time to ask anything about Strasbourg: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 4 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Kougelhopf and Petite France, worth a slower look.
