Mulhouse
Mulhouse is a large town in the Haut-Rhin department of the Alsace region, very close to the French borders with both Germany and Switzerland.
The town doesn't play a large part in the tourist circuit, being essentially an industrial centre, but it does have some interesting buildings, and a scattering of old buildings in the centre, if you venture through the surrounding sprawl.
Apart from these monuments - such as the town hall and the St Etienne temple - it will be the museums that entice you to Mulhouse.
There are a handful of highly regarded museums, including the National Automobile Museum, the French Railway Museum, and a museum dedicated to printed cloths (the town was established around this industry) - all three of these are high quality museums with fascinating collections and some very interesting displays to admire, and merit a visit.
There are also museums dedicated to wallpapers and electrical energy.
Muhouse Zoo and Botanical Gardens are also popular.
