The Strasbourg Covered Bridges, also known as Ponts Couverts, are a unique and charming attraction in the heart of Strasbourg. These four small bridges, built in the 14th century, were originally designed to protect the city from invaders by hiding the medieval walls beneath their wooden structures. Today, they serve as a picturesque gateway to the Petite France neighborhood, offering visitors a glimpse into the city's rich history and architectural heritage. As you stroll across these quaint bridges, you'll be surrounded by the soothing sounds of the Lauch River and the charming atmosphere of Strasbourg's oldest district.
