NARRATOR: Strasbourg's position on the border between France and Germany has played a significant role in the city's history. Seized by one of these two powers in the course of a war, Strasbourg would soon revert to the other.

During peacetime its citizens benefited from both cultures—as the local architecture demonstrates. The Cathedral of Notre-Dame, damaged in World War II, has been restored.

The headquarters of the Council of Europe are in Strasbourg, and the European Parliament also meets here.
