I've just learned of the existence of this city, Neuf-Brisach, on the French-German border which constrains itself within a star fort to this day.
I approve.

In the age of drone warfare, aren't star fortification a little obsolete?

But being symmetrical it's well suited to build a doom for drone protection. What's old is new again!

I am more optimistic, so I would go for a dome

Conservatives being conservatives, they have to be outraged at something every day of their miserable lives.

Today, it's the halftime superbowl.

That seems like the perfect spot for a pan-European Languish meet up.

I can immediately see two 'death-marches', firstly around all of the outer defences, then inside to do another circuit of the main ramparts, followed by some symbolic walk through all four gates and then a collective collapse in a restaurant or bars in the central square.

It can definitely be said of the right-wing..."we have met the snowflakes, and they are us".

I walked through it on my way to Italy. You wouldn't know it looks like that from street level, but it is pretty cool to pass through the gates.

Interesting.

It's not too far from Colmar, with local public transportation (train station closed so bus), if you arrive from Paris or even from the Hiberno-British archipelago; or from Freiburg im Breisgau by S-Bahn to (Alt-) Breisach, if you arrive from Germany or the East, in general.

Sound good then, late Spring?

Freiburg is also a interesting seeming city. Frequently pops up on lists of the best people focussed cities.

Freiburg is a great city. Very progressive, focused on sustainability.

University cities and towns have not only the means to focus on sustainability, but the mindset to do so. Their downside is that they are usually quite expensive places to live.

True, housing costs tend to be quite high.
