Once in Alsace, take the boat lift at Azviller, unique masterpiece of its kind in Europe. It carries boats and barges and has a slope of 41% and is 128m long. Continuing in the direction of Strasbourg the canal passes through green valleys, archaelogical sights and fields of hop.
Strasbourg is the 7th biggest city in France and is the home of the European parliament. It is a cosmopolitan and culturally rich city.
