Traveler reviews
Peter Kam Fai Cheung
★★★★★2 years agoOn 18 July, 2024, my wife and I spent some time on the bridge to capture sights of Petite France and ourselves. We were so preoccupied until a man told us to leave the bridge for five minutes. Then we witnessed the bridge being turned to one side to let a touring boat continue its course. We enjoyed the experience a lot.
Brian Baker
★★★★★a year agoDefinitely worth seeing when in old Strasbourg! A footbridge that rotates to allow boats through! Very cool to watch in action!
