Mulhouse, Industrial heritage city in Alsace, France

Mulhouse stands between the borders of Switzerland and Germany, with the Doller and Ill rivers flowing through its urban districts at 240 meters elevation.

The city transformed from a free Calvinist republic into a French territory in 1798 through a referendum during the French Revolution period.

The Cité de l'Automobile contains an extensive collection of vintage vehicles, while the Cité du Train presents the national railway history of France.

The EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg connects the city internationally, while local trams and buses provide transportation throughout the metropolitan area.

During the nineteenth century, Mulhouse earned recognition as the French Manchester due to its substantial cotton manufacturing and textile production centers.
