THE SCHLUMPF COLLECTION National Automobile Museum
Turska Says: This is absolutely the most awesome carmuseum we have been in! In fact it was so great, that we didn´t go to any other carmuseum on our three weeks road-trip around Europe, because we thought we couldn´t look at those same way, as if we would have gone there before seeing...
globetrott Says: This is in fact a unique car, built by 2 brothers in Switzerland. The engine of this car has 12,7 litres and is the biggest engine of the museum in Mulhouse.Also the top-speed of 140 km/h is almost incredible for á car in 1904.Nevertheless, after constructing this car, the...
Bugatti 43 Torpedo Grand Sport of 1929
globetrott Says: This type of car was a very good success for Bugatti, although it was quite unconfortable and also quite expensive.This car was styled a bit in the way of american cars of that time.The car that is shown here, once belonged to King Leopold of Belgium.------- ------- -----...
globetrott Says: Jean Bugatti ( the son of Ettore Bugatti ) drove this Bugatti 55 Coupé in 3 hours and 47 minutes from Molsheim in Alsace to Paris .This means an average speed of 120 km/h - a quite impressive speed for the time beeing, and I may guess even more for today, except when you...
globetrott Says: This lovely car has an interesting history :This Delahaye left France in 1951 for a honeymoon-trip to the USA. The lady stayed with the car in the USA and gave this car as a donation to the museum in 1986....and she used the ticket for the shipping of the car, that she had...
globetrott Says: The Bugatti 44 Coupe was a quite popular car, as the size was not very big from outside, and the car was easy to drive and park everywhere - a problem that existed obviously already in the 1920s...On the other hand it had a lot of space INside the car.Isn't it funny to see...
1 Review and 63 Opinions I stayed for one night and it was very relaxing in the not too small room. The bathroom is BIG for...
Auberge du Vieux Mulhouse: Alsace Regional Specialities
pedroswift Says: We visited Auberge du Vieux Mulhouse on a Saturday night in mid May 2010 after making a reservation several days in advance knowing how popular it is. On the night, there was a constant stream of customers coming and going which added to the interest. I do like a little bit...
Le P'tit Sot S'y Laisse: Le P'tit Sot S'y Laisse
Nikarie Says: Set at the corner of rue Schlumberger just off Place Franklin, this small restaurant has a very welcoming atmosphere, and a warm feel. The food is wonderful, with large servings for very reasonnable prices (44 euros for 2 people, entree included), and the dessert are to die...
globetrott Says: Have a look for my small map in order to have an idea, where to search for Mulhouse on your own map.Mulhouse is just about maybe 25 km north of Basel / Switzerlandmaybe about 50 km south of Strasbourg.a highway takes you there, and also the french part of it is without extra...
A small road-train inside the museum
globetrott Says: Inside the museum there is a small road-train for the hasty visitors...To visit the museum and all of these beautiful cars, I think such a road-train is NOT really a great help, except for elderly and handicaped people.But to a certain extent, I think that the quite modern...
globetrott Says: There is a sign in front of the museum, telling you that dogs are not allowed into the museum......just imagine all the thousands of iron-columns and another thousands of car-tyres, where dogs would leave their traces...So you better leave your dog inside your car - there...
globetrott Says: This car is the only car that has survived for the series of Audi E21/78.The highly "wind-proof" radiator and the Torpedo-body are quite typical for the early twenties in Europe.The chassis was made by Audi, the body was made by Erdmann & Rossi.----- ----- ----- ----- -----...
Bugatti Type 16 "Roland Garros" - 1912
globetrott Says: Roland Garros ordered a car of that Bugatti type 16 and for that reason Ettore Bugatti gave that name to all cars of the type 16.Roland Garros was a famous airpilote in the war, a well known hero of that time and therefore you see an aircraft in the back.b.t.w. The...
globetrott Says: There was a time, when this kind of boattail was quite common for cars.I don't know a good reason for that, as aerodynamics are much more important in the front of the car, maybe it was just the idea to have an elegant design.This one was the very first car of the company...
Bugatti Torpedo Type 17 - 1914
globetrott Says: Just click on my picture to see the very special type of car with a wooden body in the shape of a boat-tail with 2 seats in the front row and just a single seat in the back.The type 17 was ment for sporting customers and it was introduced at the beginning of WW I - see the...
De Dion-Bouton Limousine DH - 1912
globetrott Says: What a sweet, tiny car ! Quite unusual for a De Dion-Bouton is the limousine-body and the soft windows ( Plexiglas is the german expression for "soft window" and I did not know that material existed already in 1912).When you go regularely to meetings of vintage-car-owners...
globetrott Says: During the WW I Benz had been producing for the army only, but in 1918 the factory started the production of ordinary cars again with this car.Somehow this car looks a bit funny and also in this car the chauffeur had to freeze in wintertime, while the bosses in the back of...
Lorraine-Dietrich Bus EIC - 1907
globetrott Says: This small bus was able to transport 9 passengers and was mainly used on the roads of the Vosges.The passengers had a closed cabin , and were protected against rain and icy winds in winter , but the poor driver had just a windscreen and certainly had to freeze a lot in...
Panhard-Levassor Coupe Chauffeur X12 - 1912
globetrott Says: Although these cars were rather heavy and mostly had more than 2 tons these early touring-cars still reached a considerable speed for that time !The car was also partly made by wood and the wheels have already air-filled wheels tyres.-------- ------- ------- -- -- -- --...
globetrott Says: In 1903 Peugeot started to offer and build only a limited selection of 6 types of cars.This "Peugeot Tonneau Ferme Type 56" was one of them and only 16 cars of that type could be sold.Nice to see that a big part of the car was made of wood and still looks great after all...

One of the main reasons to visit Mulhouse is to view the marvelous Cité de l'Automobile with The Schlumpf Collection. The museum is accessed by either tram or bus from the Central Railway Station :......

a big city with a beautiful historical centre ; unfortunately, the city is full of young criminals , protected as usual by the french judges (we are in france, do not forget)
