The city is home to two important museums, one dedicated to cars and the other dedicated to trains: the “Musée national de l’automobile” and the “Musée Français du Chemin de Fer”. The Mulhouse Christmas Market is the most important Advent event in this Alsace city. In the center of this Alsace city, a traditional Alsatian Christmas market is recreated during the Advent period. If you visit the city in this period in the heart of the historic center of Mulhouse, you will discover the particularity of this market: the Christmas fabric created every year to decorate the facades and pedestrian streets of the city and to provide a festive context for the Christmas market.
