"Mulhouse. A lovely little city [...], a magnificent palace, all in gold” - Montaigne
Ville d'Art et d’Histoire (Town of Art and History) label
More aboutWho says that Mulhouse has no history? Then how would it have been awarded the “Ville d'Art et d’Histoire” label? Does that surprise you? Alsatian heritage doesn’t end with half-timbered houses. And even the 19th and 20th centuries have left some little gems for us to discover...
Golf
Little holes wherever you lookSouthern Alsace is like Gruyère cheese - it’s full of holes. Along the Rhine, in the middle of the Alsace Plain, in the Sundgau region and in the foothills of the Vosges - they’re everywhere. Holes with flags to mark them out. Holes with grass around them. Holes with balls in them - well sometimes, anyway.The Red Thread
Hitting the nail on the head.The streets of Mulhouse are paved with good intentions but those in the town centre are also paved with big red nails. They’re not to stop the streets blowing away, though. They’re there to send a message: in Mulhouse, when you see red, you are in the centre. So ditch your satnav and just make sure that you don’t lose the thread... the red one, that is!Monument Tracker
Information trackerMulhouse is connected. Aren’t you? We would strongly recommend it. Your smartphone is an invaluable item and, if you ask it nicely, it will tell you what is concealed behind that facade, statue or extraordinary garden. Just let your instincts be your guide and explore at your own pace.
Parks and gardens
All the guidebooks state categorically: Mulhouse is an industrial city. So it is, but that doesn’t mean it’s grey. There are so many parks and gardens, not to mention the green belts formed by the tramway and the river and canal, that there’s no chance of gardeners getting bored.
