The Strandvegen Embankment is the most prestigious area of ​ ​ the Swedish capital, it is also called the French Embankment. A beautiful view of its prospect opens from another embankment - from the Royal Palace. Wealthy people began to settle here from the end of the 19th - beginning of the 20th century. In the original houses in the neoclassical style, it is customary to occupy an entire floor or entrance. An apartment of 7 rooms in one of the local buildings was presented to Astrid Lindgren, but she considered the gift too modest, despite the fact that the heroes of her fairy tale about Carlson lived in the most ordinary quarters of the capital.→
