Why It Feels Like Strasbourg
Little Rock’s Riverfront Park mirrors Strasbourg’s Ill riverbanks, with half‑timber bridges and pastel townhouses lining the Arkansas River. The historic Arkansas State Capitol’s spires and the nearby historic district’s narrow alleys feel like a modest Alsatian old town, while the bustling River Market adds a continental café culture.
