Mulhouse Travel: France
Mulhouse (Mülhausen in German, Milhüsa in Alsatian and Muhlhausen in Dutch) is a town and commune in eastern France. It is the largest town in Haut-Rhin, and the second largest in Alsace after Strasbourg. Two rivers run through it, the Doller and the Ill, both tributaries of the Rhine. Its designated local development area consists of 16 communes, but its conurbation is substantially larger than that.
