Stratford is called “the city of roads” in English for a reason. There have been times in history when it was part of Germany, as has the rest of the Alsace area. Because it is on the border of two countries, Strasbourg has always been a place where different cultures meet. The city was occupied by Germany during both World Wars. It is now in France and is an important hub for many European institutions, such as the Council of Europe and the European Parliament, which is the governing body of the European Union.
