School Music Tours to the Black Forest

Strasbourg Cathedral

Strasbourg Cathedral de Notre-Dame is known as one of the most beautiful gothic cathedrals in Europe and most definitely awe-inspiring - a perfect venue for a choral performance.The 142 m spire is a masterpiece of architectural elegance and intricacy and up until the 19th century, the cathedral was the highest building in the whole of the Christian world. The Cathedral also houses an 18 metre astronomical clock - one of the largest in the world and is well worth a visit. Climb up to the Cathedral platform to enjoy a magnificent view over the region - on a clear day you can see over the Vosges and the Black Forest.
