Strasbourg is situated at the eastern border of France with Germany, in the historic region of Alsace.
In 2018, the city proper had 284,677 inhabitants and both the Eurométropole de Strasbourg (Greater Strasbourg) and the Arrondissement of Strasbourg had 500,510 inhabitants.
Between 362 and 1262, Strasbourg was governed by the bishops of Strasbourg; their rule was reinforced in 873 and then more in 982.[30] In 1262, the citizens violently rebelled against the bishop's rule (Battle of Hausbergen) and Strasbourg became a free imperial city. It became a French city in 1681, after the conquest of Alsace by the armies of Louis XIV. In 1871, after the Franco-Prussian War, the city became German again, until 1918 (end of World War I), when it reverted to France. After the defeat of France in 1940 (World War II), Strasbourg came under German control again; since the end of 1944, it is again a French city.
This Baroque Palais Rohan was built in 1732 for the Cardinal de Soubise, the Prince-Bishop of Strasbourg, based on plans by Robert de Cotte, first architect to the King. Modeled on famous Parisian hotels, between courtyard and gardens, this bishop's palace close to the cathedral is one of the most beautiful architectural achievements of the French 18th century, for both the nobility of its facades and its remarkable interior decoration.
