As you walk around Strasbourg, one of the most common sights you’ll see if of a number of storks nesting on rooftops, chimneys, and trees. Believed to be a symbol of happiness, fertility, and good luck, the people were saddened to find a decline in the store population in the 1970s. Soon after, the Center of Reproduction, Repopulating, and Wintering of the Alsatian White Stork was opened within the Parc de l’Orangerie. The English-style park has a small zoo, a mini farm, and a lake, making it a great place to go for families. Visiting the center will give you the opportunity to see storks and how they love up close.
