Everything about Petite-france totally explained
Petite-France is an area in
Strasbourg,
Alsace,
France.
It is located on the
Grande Île (Main Island), where the river
Ill splits up into a number of
canals and cascades through a small area of medieval
half-timbered houses and baroque sandstone buildings.
The name "Petite-France" (
Gerberviertel in German) was conferred by the former German inhabitants not for architectonical reasons, but because of the numerous
prostitutes working there in the
Middle Ages — prostitution used to be known in Germany as "the French business". Also,
syphilis often contracted in that specific area was then known as
Franzosenkrankheit ("French disease").
