After our walk around Strasbourg's 'Petit France' on Sunday we joined the long queue to have a look inside of the cathedral which is impressive, especially its the astronomical clock.
As we left the Cathedral we noticed the 'Petit Train' almost full with a diverse range of passengers. We had always seen this mode of transport as a way for old folk to get around but there was always gong to be a time where age and fatigue would catch up with us,this was rhe moment,so on we went!
What we didn't realise was that Strasbourg has in fact two 'Petit Trains' one that takes you around 'Le Petit France' and one that takes you around the German imperial district of Neustadt and yes you've guessed it we were about to revisit our earlier walk! As we were glad to have the seat we stayed on and found it somewhat reassuring that we had,without any map or prior knowledge, pretty much followed the well worn route of the tourist. The commentary from our headsets answered some of the questions we had so that and the rest made it worthwhile.
On realising what we had been missing up until now we immediately jumped on the second train and took in a very different part of the city.
