European Quarter

A European Quarter (also: "European District", "EU Quarter" and other variations or by the French: "Quartier européen") usually refers to an area of a city containing a concentration of pan-European institutions (notably, those of the European Union and Council of Europe). At present, there are three such quarters;
*European Quarter of Brussels (Belgium)
*European Quarter of Strasbourg (France)
*European Quarter of Luxembourg (Luxembourg)

It may also refer to any quarter of a city that has considerable European influence, such as the community in Fresno, California.
