STRASBOURG, EUROPEAN CAPITAL
Strasbourg, European capital, is the 7th largest city in France. Symbol of the reconciliation between people since the end of the Second World War, it houses the headquarters of many European institutions of international cooperation. Yesterday as today, its notoriety is based on its 2000-years history and its exceptional UNESCO heritage, first and foremost the majestic Notre Dame Cathedral and the imperial district of Neustadt.
“Eight villages considered as the “Pearls of Alsace” worth visiting: Eguisheim, Riquewihr, Kaysersberg, Ribeauvillé, Hunawihr, Mittelbergheim, Hunspach, and Obernai. The architectural design and details are preserved until today. Walking through the streets of Alsatian villages is like stepping back in time”.
MULHOUSE, INDUSTRIAL CAPITAL
Mulhouse is considered as the capital of the most important technical museums in Europe. From the 18th century, the city of industrial adventure owes its apogee to innovative entrepreneurs who enriched it with new ideas. One of them was at the origin of the extraordinary collection of Bugatti Cars, visible at the “Cité de l’Automobile” – Schlumpf Collection
