Place Kléber: The Heart of Strasbourg
Place Kléber in Strasbourg, the vibrant heart of the city, offers a lively and cosmopolitan atmosphere. Lined with elegant boutiques, warm cafés, and welcoming restaurants, it is an essential meeting place.
General Kléber
At the center of the square stands the equestrian statue of General Kléber, a local hero and emblematic figure of Strasbourg. Born in Strasbourg in 1753, Jean-Baptiste Kléber was one of the most brilliant generals of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic era.
L'Aubette: Avant-Garde Masterpiece
Nearby, L'Aubette, a former military building transformed into a cultural center, fascinates with its avant-garde architecture and artistically decorated interiors.
In the 1920s, L'Aubette was redesigned by three avant-garde artists:
- Theo van Doesburg
- Jean Arp
- Sophie Taeuber-Arp
These artists created a unique decorative ensemble, considered one of the most important of the De Stijl movement.
A Place of Life and Culture
Today, L'Aubette houses exhibitions, art boutiques, and cafés, offering a dynamic cultural experience in the heart of the city. Place Kléber also hosts the famous Strasbourg Christmas market and its grand tree.
