That travel soul in me would never forgive … Continue reading Strasbourg, Le petit France

A small city in Transylvania, also known as Hermannstadt in German, located in north-western Romania was a pure discovery for me! 🙂 It was designated the European Capital of Culture for the year 2007 thanks to its medieval charm. Sibiu got its importance in 14 century when  it became an important trade centre.
