Do you know the Munster cheese? It is an Alsatian cheese with a strong taste. As its name indicates, it originates from the Valley of Munster. Even today, it can only be produced in certain parts of eastern France (mainly in the Vosges mountains). There are many farms in Alsace producing Munster cheese. The trick […]
The Christmas market of Mulhouse, called Etofféeries, is not the most famous one in Alsace but it deserves to be mentioned because it is a market I like a lot. It is smaller than the Christmas market in Colmar or the Christmas market in Strasbourg, but I must say that this is also why I […]

Whether you feel like a quiet walk with your family or a more sportive […]
It is often ignored, but Mulhouse also has its Eiffel Tower! Well ok, this steel tower is a bit smaller (20m high against 300m) but it has the advantage of being already located on the heights of Mulhouse, at 333m of altitude… The belvedere of Mulhouse offers a superb view on the city and the […]
