Cultural Events
Cultural outings are organised from time to time and could be held indoors and outdoors.
Our members are offered the opportunity to visit museums, exhibitions, various neighbourhoods of Strasbourg and surroundings, and learn about arts in a friendly atmosphere. Our visits are held in English with the help of official tour guides.
