Plenty of people do exactly this.\r\nIs the cathedral free? | Entry is free. The astronomical clock performance at 12.30 carries a small charge, and the platform climb \u2014 332 steps, about \u20ac8 \u2014 gives a view across to the Black Forest. It was the tallest building in the world from 1647 until 1874.\r\nIs Strasbourg French or German? | French, and has been since 1945, but Alsace changed hands four times between 1871 and 1945 and the city carries both cultures. The architecture, the dialect, the food and many street names are Germanic; the administration is French.\r\nWhat should I eat? | Tarte flamb\u00e9e \u2014 thin dough with cream, onion and bacon, at \u20ac10 to \u20ac15 and meant for sharing \u2014 is the easy answer. Choucroute garnie at \u20ac16 to \u20ac24 is the heavier regional plate. Eat either in a winstub, the wood-panelled Alsatian tavern.\r\nCan I visit the European Parliament? | Yes, free, when it is sitting \u2014 you need photo ID and an advance booking. The Parlamentarium exhibition is free as well, and the European quarter can be walked at any time.\r\nIs Colmar worth a day? | Thirty minutes by train for about \u20ac12, and it is a smaller, denser version of Strasbourg's timber-framed old town.
