Strasbourg, France is a fascinating and beautiful city with a very storied past. Pam and I visited there last year and it is one of those places that I would go back to visit again. (My bottom line evaluation of a place is always whether or not I would return there.)
Sometimes German, sometimes French depending on what world war was going on at the time, Strasbourg today is home to several European Union institutions (click here.) When I visited there last year and learned of Strasbourg’s storied past and present, it was this weird historical event that stuck with me the most.
For all of its history, glamour and importance, Strasbourg is also famous for being the site of the Dancing Plague that occurred there in 1518. Folks actually danced themselves to death (click here.)
I wasn’t able to ascertain what music they were dancing to but this one by the Stones would have been a good choice to have kept them up and gyrating until Mr. D dropped in.
