Alsace is a real life fantasy kingdom occupied by a real life evil empire. I'm gonna dump pictures now and see if anybody is ballsy enough to disagree.

That was a hundred years ago. The evil empire is gone, vanquished by the forces of good.

In all honesty Alsace looks like a nice place. Would love to visit it once especially now that Paris is being runed by both mass-migration and post-modern architecture.

More on topic, I think Rome deserves a mention.

Meh, they are tryhards. They speak german and live in german comunities to not mix with the Brazillians. Fun part is that they still took all the african migrants to their land because they are ridiculously cheap labor.

>BUILT BY GERMANS
More brazen bullshit has never been uttered, even by a kraut, which is really saying a lot. It was built by, surprise surprise, Alsatians. The ancestors of the same people who live here today. Alsace is not Poland, the German speakers were not forcibly expelled and replaced with French colonists, they just gradually switched from German to French. Which was understandable, because German is butt ugly, especially the Alsatian dialect. Besides, Alsatians never identified as Germans. We're most closely related to the Swiss.

>>52161896
Alsace and everthing about it is French though. It has been French since the 1600s and very few buildings of that era are still standing so the majority were built in the period in which it was French. Sure the buildings there look a lot like those in the Rhineland which is and forever will be rightful French clay but that's kind of related to Alsace being along the Rhine. In terms of culture and architecture there will always be spillover that doesn't follow cultural borders. To name an example, nobody would ever game that German churches and buildings built in the Gothic style (or at the time known as Opus Francigenum, to give you an idea of who did it first) are actually French. I see no reason to get triggered about it.

Hell, even during the days of the German Empire the representatives of Reichsland Elsass-Lotharingen sent to the Reichstag constantly made an effort to publically announce their disagreement with the annexation of their territory.

>>52162154
BlackPigeonSpeaks [yes yes, muh /pol/ boogeyman, whatever] has a nice miniseries about this (which he'll never finish probably) on youtube, in which he mentions some sources comparing grid cities versus organically grown cities. The big gist of it is that organic cities are usually (though not always) very old ones that existed before cars were a thing. As such they were built for the people living there. On the other hand a lot of America's major cities outside of the East Coast (the newer ones) are built with the grid model in mind. In other words, they're built around cars. This in some cities results in the situation where you can't just walk to a corner store, but need to burn a gallon of gas if you want to buy a gallon of milk.
