La Petite France is located in the famous Rue du Bain-aux-Plantes and it is so dear to the inhabitants of Strasbourg. This quaint neighborhood is found at the level of the water and is one of the most beautiful areas. It is bordered by canals, making it look like Venice or Amsterdam, and it has very narrow streets.

Rue du Bain-aux-Plantes is not only the entrance to La Petite France but also the heart of the neighborhood.

It is said that the street of Bain-aux-plantes owes its name to the baths, reserved only for women who were there.

It consists of wonderful small timbered houses with aligned colorful facades, of half-timbered gables and of galleries with sloping roofs or stairs. They are open the drying barns used in the past to dry skin.
The tanners, millers and the fishermen lived here and worked there in the past. Today Rue du Bain-aux-Plantes is renowned for these typical houses of tanners and the unique architecture of the region.
