Couvent du Franciscain

Set in a former convent dating back to the 12 century, it’s safe to say there’s a historic feel about Couvent du Franciscan. Not that you can tell once you’re inside the guestrooms – these are modern sanctuaries, so you get the best of both worlds when you stay here.

Breakfast is served in traditional surroundings, with classic French pastries and coffee complementing fruits, cakes, cheeses, and cold cuts. It’ll set you up nicely for a day exploring Strasbourg. Happily, the historic heart of the city is just a three-minute walk from the hotel, although the hotel can help you out with bike hire if you prefer to get around the city on two wheels. Be sure to linger in the historic core after dusk to admire Strasbourg when it’s illuminated with lights that reflect in the canals. Beautiful!
