This image depicts the exterior of the Palais universitaire de Strasbourg, located on Place de la République in Strasbourg, France. The prominent structure is a large, multi-story stone building characterized by numerous arched and rectangular windows, classical architectural details, and a visible blue vertical banner affixed to its facade to the left of the main entrance. In front of the building's central entrance, a queue composed of approximately 50-70 individuals is observed. These individuals, diverse in age and attire, are standing within an area defined by metal crowd control barriers. Multiple light-colored concrete barriers, possibly Jersey barriers, are positioned along the street, separating the queuing area from a set of dual tram tracks embedded in cobblestone pavement. Strong sunlight illuminates the scene from the upper left, casting distinct, elongated shadows from a large tree (visible on the far left) and from the concrete barriers onto the pavement and tram tracks. In the immediate foreground on the left, two bicycles are partially visible: a black standard bicycle leaning against the tree trunk and a red cargo bicycle equipped with a wooden front box.
