Feel like… a breath of fresh
air
Mulhouse and its region provide a wonderfully green environment
for holidaymakers. The town has many gardens and parks, which
are home to some 13 665 trees, with 273 varieties.
Our territory is also an ideal starting point for enjoying the
most beautiful natural spots: Sundgau, Vosges, banks of the
Rhine...
The Zoological and
Botanical Park
 The
number 1 tourist attraction in Haut-Rhin and the 3rd most
popular in Alsace with 370,000 visitors per year, the Zoological
Park is also one of the oldest zoos in France, founded in
1868.
It has 1,200 animals belonging to 170 species, most of whom are
rare due to hunting or the disappearance of their natural
habitat.
You can meet some exceptional animals here: Asian lions,
Siberian tigers, Persian panthers, lemurs, Grevy’s zebras, addax
antelopes, and many more.
There is also a magnificent botanical collection in a
remarkable landscaped setting, which you can explore throughout
the year.
A real treat for the senses!
The Jardins
du Temps
Located just a few kilometres from Mulhouse, the Jardins du
Temps, which carry the “Remarkable Garden” label, seem to invite
visitors on a journey.
It comes as no surprise to learn that these gardens were created
a few years ago by a couple who are passionate about travel.
They consist of 9 different areas, based on an imaginary line
formed by a kitchen garden, a maze, a copse and a Virginia tulip
tree, planted at the edge of the floral park. The floral park
boasts an exceptional variety of colours, landscapes and plants:
- 100 species of trees and
shrubs,
- 50 types of grass, bamboo
and fern,
- 400 different species of
perennials and bulbs,
- 50 rose varieties, with
signs showing their names.

gardens, parks open to the public since the 19th century, a
triangular square reminding us of the freemasons...
The gardens and parks of Mulhouse and the surrounding area each
have their own unique features, and confer great botanical
diversity on the territory. |
