Cité de l'Automobile, Automobile museum in Mulhouse, France.
The museum displays over 450 historical vehicles in a renovated wool factory, covering an exhibition space of 17,000 square meters.
The Schlumpf brothers converted their textile factory into a museum between 1957 and 1976, before the state acquired the collection following their escape to Switzerland.
The museum holds monthly gatherings of vintage vehicles on its autodrome, allowing visitors to observe these automobiles in motion.
Entrance tickets cost 18 euros for adults and 11 euros for children, with guided tours available through advance reservation.
The collection includes two of the six existing Bugatti Royale models worldwide, including the Napoleon Coupe and the Bugatti Royale Esders.

Alsace stretches between Strasbourg and Mulhouse, presenting historical monuments from various periods. The region contains medieval castles such as Haut-Koenigsbourg, military fortifications by Vauban, and Romanesque and Gothic churches. Old town centres display characteristic half-timbered houses, while museums like the Railway Museum in Mulhouse or the Automobile Museum showcase technical collections. Strasbourg features its historic quarter La Petite France with canals and half-timbered buildings, along with the cathedral and its astronomical clock. Colmar offers the Unterlinden Museum housing the Isenheim Altarpiece and preserved old town districts. The Alsace Wine Route connects villages such as Riquewihr, Kaysersberg and Eguisheim, which have maintained their medieval structures. The Vosges mountains form the natural backdrop of the region with hiking trails and viewpoints. Fortifications like Fort de Mutzig reflect the military past. Religious buildings such as Murbach Abbey or the Church of Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul in Rosheim document Romanesque architecture. The region combines German and French heritage in its architecture, cuisine and culture.
