Great matchLa Neustadt
- Best time
- Best time: Midday, when the sun is high enough to reach the bottom of boulevards this wide — the scale is the subject here and it needs light on both sides of the street
- Best angle
- Best angle: Across the circular garden of Place de la République with the Palais du Rhin on axis, or straight down Avenue de la Liberté towards the university
Barrage Vauban & the Ponts Couverts
- Best time
- Best time: Early morning, when mist sits on the water below the terrace and the towers come out of it — the same view at sunset is warmer and has thirty people on it
- Best angle
- Best angle: From the middle of the terrace on the axis of the river, so the towers, the Petite France and the cathedral spire line up in one receding frame
Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Strasbourg
- Best time
- Best time: The hour before sunset, when the low sun turns the west front from pink to orange — it faces roughly west, so it is flat and grey all morning and lights up at the end of the day
- Best angle
- Best angle: From the far corner of Place de la Cathédrale beside the Maison Kammerzell, which is the only spot where the front and the single spire both fit without the square's cafés in the way
