If you are looking for a city where every corner is a perfect frame, Strasbourg is your dream destination. The Petite France quarter welcomes you with pastel-painted Alsatian timber-framed houses reflected in the canals of the River Ill. The best time to photograph them is at sunrise, when golden light bathes the facades and the reflections on the water are perfectly still. Climb to the Barrage Vauban viewpoint for the most spectacular panorama: the Ponts Couverts in the foreground and the cathedral behind.

Notre-Dame Cathedral is a symphony of pink sandstone that shifts in tone with the daylight. Its western facade, with thousands of carved sculptures, is a feast of detail for macro photography. From the platform at 66 metres, the view over the Alsatian rooftops stretches to Germany's Black Forest on clear days. The Neustadt quarter, with its German imperial architecture, offers a fascinating visual contrast with the medieval zone. And the Place Kléber and the quays of the River Ill at sunset are pure visual magic that will turn your feed into an art gallery.
