The Musée National de l'Automobile in Mulhouse makes a striking impression: the vehicles on display include the Bugatti Royale, Rolls-Royce and Ferrari. The collection is complemented by interactive animations, videos, simulators and play areas. Here, you can discover not only different car brands, but also several ways of presenting them: from viewing the vehicles to trying interactive activities. The programme may change.
Automotive history and getting there
To get to the museum, you can take tram line 1 or travel by TGV and TER from Mulhouse station. Check current services before setting off, as transport options may change. These offer different points of reference for planning: the tram connection and travel via the station. The right option depends on your travel plans.
Ferrette: castle on a limestone spur
The Château fort de Ferrette offers a very different focus. It stands on a limestone spur 613 metres high; from the town, access is through the lower gate and along a stone-paved path. Alongside its position on the rocky outcrop, a named entrance and the paved path help visitors find their way. Those interested in castles and their architectural setting can pay attention both to the site and to the specific approach. Unlike the automobile museum, the focus here is on the location and access to a single building.
Landscape and regional routes
The Petite Camargue Alsacienne adds another perspective to your trip planning. The protected area stretches for just under 15 kilometres and is between one and two kilometres wide. These measurements show its elongated shape; it offers a different spatial scale from the individual building in Ferrette. The area is freely accessible. Guided visits are offered for school groups and adults. Your choice therefore depends both on the size of the protected area and on whether you would like to explore it independently or take a guided tour.
The Route des Vins d’Alsace is signposted and provides access to wine-growing communities. It therefore serves as a guide for travellers interested in wine-growing areas. Unlike a visit to a single museum, the point of reference here is a route. Whereas the dimensions of the Petite Camargue Alsacienne describe a landscape, the wine route draws attention to several communities. Different perspectives thus sit side by side: the extent of a protected area and a signposted route to wine-growing communities.
Seasonal connection on the Route des Crêtes
The Navette des Crêtes is a regional transport option. This seasonal shuttle provides seven bus connections along the Route des Crêtes, departing from railway stations in Alsace and the Vosges. Check operating dates before travelling. Unlike the transport options for visiting the museum in Mulhouse, the Navette is a seasonal connection along a regional route. When planning, you can distinguish between getting to the museum and looking for a connection linked to railway stations in Alsace and the Vosges.
