Things to see and do Mulhouse

Along the banks of the basins lining Avenue Schuman, a long stretch of waterway known as the Promenade du Nouveau Bassin. It's a great place for walking, cycling or rollerblading, for picnics or jogging along a trail of contemporary sculptures. A dozen works of art line the shady promenade. A symbolic junction between Daniel Buren's arches and Jean-Pierre Reynaud's masterful work.

This is still an important building, built by the famous architect Jean-Baptiste Schacre in the middle of the nineteenth. During World War II, the Nazis commandeered it and used it as a painting warehouse for the theater of Mulhouse. It is said that an employee of the city would have hidden a copy of the Torah in the wardrobe of the oratory to which he would have suspended a portrait of Hitler to hide the door. In 1959, donations from the Jewish community restored the building, classified under Historical Monuments in 1984.

More than a hundred, this public square of nearly 6,000 m ² at the foot of the Rebberg offers a break at the entrance to the city. Close to a legendary ginkgo and a playground for the toddlers, this is the famous «Schweissdissi» (the guy who won), monumental statue of a worker relying on his tool. In 1906 the sculpture was placed in the center of the Place of Réunion. Scandal! She showed her buttocks to all passers-by and disturbing public morals. It was therefore moved to the Tivoli Park where its modesty is respected since it turns to the groves that hide it half. Let's hope that the worker found a well deserved rest in this peaceful green!
