The Louise Weiss Building of the European Parliament in Strasbourg Reflected in the Waters of the Ill River

The image portrays the Louise Weiss building, main seat of the European Parliament in Strasbourg, in a daytime view that enhances its contemporary architecture. The structure, designed by the Architecture-Studio of Paris and inaugurated in 1999, features a characteristic elliptical shape with an entirely glass facade symbolizing democratic transparency. The building is perfectly reflected in the calm waters of the Ill River, creating an evocative symmetry effect. The choice of Strasbourg as the seat of Parliament represents the symbol of Franco-German reconciliation and European unity.
