Strasbourg: Poincaré

Poincaré is the area north of Grande Île and close to the Central Station of Strasbourg. The area in itself doesn't really offer anything for a visitor in terms of architecture or sights, apart from the streets just along the river. There's also a shopping center, Place des Halles, but I can't say anything about it since I never even went near it.
