With the presence of the Vosges mountains, the Haut-Rhin is a wonderful destination to enjoy nature and mountains. Renowned for its prestigious museums, this department is also known for its charming villages, colorful and abundantly flowered, so conducive to strolling. It is also the ideal place to taste famous wines and to enjoy excellent typical Alsatian dishes. The Haut-Rhin, because of its somewhat extreme climate, has few attractions outside of its two main cities: Colmar and Mulhouse. Colmar , the Alsatian city, seduces from the start by the beauty of its old center preserved like a historical movie set! This small town is a jewel to discover by train, by carriage, by boat, by bike and on foot. By taking your time. The old town of Colmar, structured around the gothic church of Saint-Martin (13th century) with its cobbled streets, lined with medieval half-timbered buildings and early Renaissance buildings, bathed in canals, full of flowers in the summer and illuminated in the winter, is an enchantment. As for Mulhouse, an industrial city par excellence and a historical city, its heritage has been intelligently developed thanks to prestigious museums, making it one of the leading technical museums in Europe. As for its historical and patrimonial dimension, Mulhouse's charm is concentrated in its downtown area: best discovered by walking along the Old Mulhouse path.
