Strasbourg is in no way a great colonial metropolis comparable to Nantes or Bordeaux. It is nonetheless strongly imbued with references to colonial history through the names of its streets, statues, public collections, commemorative plaques... This walk as part of the heritage days proposes to revisit this memory through a journey between the Bnu and the statue of A. Schweitzer, the Leclerc monument, the statues of Kléber and Gutenberg, the childhood home of de Foucauld, the Military Health School, Former customs, remarkable mansions and cafés...
Walk animated by Roland Pfefferkorn and Jean Claude Richez and the available authors of the Colonial Strasbourg guide (Editions Syllepse, 2026).

During European Heritage Days, the public spaces will be freely accessible(approachable) to all: the monumental staircase overhung by the dome in 27 metres in heights, the Republic reading room and its adjacent rooms offering a marvellous prospect(perspective) on the place(square) of the Republic, the Space heritage or else the Dome reading room.
