Frank Derville accepted with enthusiasm to host the pages about Strasbourg (and around) on his web site. I would like to express him and also to the KUBOS association my deep recognition .

I would also thank warmly all those who helped me for my research and permitted me to write these pages:

The City of Strasbourg, and especially Mrs. Gabrielle KWIATKOWKSI and Mr. Bernard GRANDJEAN (Service de la Culture), Mr. Jean-Pierre GREFF (Ecole Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs), Mrs. Chantal SEGUIN, Messrs. Dominique FERNAGU, Henri DILLMANN, Serge HUMBRECHT and Jean KAMMERER (Service du Sport), Messrs. André DEPPEN, Daniel KIRSCH and Claude FIRMIN (Service de l'Animation), Messrs. Paul CLAD, Patrick GROSS and Jean-Pierre BONESTEVE (Service du Protocole), Mr. Michel JUNG (Service d'Information Géographique).

Many thanks also to Mrs. Liliane BORENS, Mr. Bernard CHRISTMANN, Prof. Shelley HORNSTEIN, Prof. Klaus NOHLEN, Mr. Eric OLLIVIER, Mr. Dominique SCHREIBER.

Finally, I will not forget to thank all the house-owners who opened me their door.
