Lonely Planet review

As a concrete (but very green) expression of Franco-German friendship, Strasbourg and its German neighbour Kehl have turned areas once used by customs posts and military installations into the 60-hectare Jardin des Deux Rives , whose play areas, promenades and parkland stretch along both banks of the Rhine just south of Pont de l'Europe.

The centrepiece is a sleek (and hugely expensive) suspension bridge, designed by Marc Mimram (www.mimram.com in French), that's proved a big hit with pedestrians and cyclists; one of the walkways is 275m long, the other 387m long. To get to the park, take bus 2 or 21 to the Jardin des Deux Rives stop
