Barrage Vauban and the Covered Bridges in Strasbourg’s Petite France district showcase the city’s rich architectural heritage. The 17th-century Barrage Vauban, also known as the Vauban Dam, served as a defensive structure to control river flow and protect the city. Today, its rooftop terrace rewards visitors with panoramic views of Strasbourg’s canals, medieval towers, and half-timbered houses. The nearby Covered Bridges, once roofed for defense, now offer a scenic walking route across three historic bridges spanning the River Ill. Both landmarks provide an enchanting vantage point from which to appreciate Strasbourg’s blend of history, culture, and engineering.
