FR-1297230

Alsace is the french region that I want to visit the most mainly because of it's cute towns. I've never heard about Obernai before but after getting this card and some research about the town, I need to put it on my list too. 
Obernai is situated 25km from Strasbourg in the heart of Alsace and is the second most visited town in the département of Bas-Rhin after Strasbourg.

St. Pierre and St. Paul Church is a massive Catholic church was built in pink sandstone of the Vosges between 1865 and 1970 by Eugène Petiti and inaugurated in 1872. 
Local people argue that this is Alsace’s largest church after Strasbourg Cathedral. The façade features three portals surmounted by a rose-window and topped by two identical soaring spires. - in: https://frenchmoments.eu/obernai-alsace/
