The journey across the Rhine on one of Basel’s four ferries is just a short one, but you won’t forget it in a hurry. The ferries use the fast-flowing waters of this river for their propulsion, and make the crossing without using an engine: The craft are tethered to a steel cable suspended above the river, and shuttle back and forth between Grossbas...
As soon as you leave Saint-Louis heading north you’ll enter a national nature reserve covering more than 900 hectares and with an ecosystem that resembles the Camargue in the south of France. You’ll be on the former floodplain of the Rhine, in a mosaic of wetlands, grasslands, marshes and flooded forest. There are 15 orchid species, and more than 6...
Set in the old Fernet-Branca distillery is a modest but engaging contemporary art museum hosting temporary exhibitions for French and international, 20th-century and present- day painters, sculptors and graphic designers. In summer 2016 there was a display for the French engraver and painter, Philippe Cognée, while in the last few years the foundat...
The Sundgau is scattered with defences built in the run up to the Second World War as part of the Maginot Line. A few minutes outside Saint-Louis by the village of Uffheim is a sombre remnant, a concrete artillery bunker, and the last survivor of seven built in the Altkirch sector to protect the left bank of the Rhine. You can poke around this two-...
You can browse one of of Switzerland’s great art collections in this museum. Its roots can be traced to 1661 when the city bought the Amerbach Cabinet, a collection of pieces by the 16th-century German artist Hans Holbein. The museum still boasts the largest set of works by the Holbein family on display anywhere. These are joined by a large number ...
Right next to the 13th-century Gewerbekanal is a museum in an authentic 15th-century paper mill. It’s one of the few attractions in Europe to be able to preserve late-medieval paper-making workshops, and you can see how the surprisingly sophisticated machinery would have been powered by water wheels on the canal. More general displays shed light on...
More than five centuries after they were completed the red sandstone towers of Basel cathedral still draw the eye like no other landmark in the city. There had been a romanesque church on this spot, but it was toppled by an earthquake in the 14th-century, and drafted in for the rebuild was Ulrich von Esingen, architect of the iconic towers of Stras...
On this bend in the Rhine, Basel’s old town has many of the city’s historical landmarks in one place. Crossing the river is the Mittlere Brücke (Middle Bridge), dating to the 1300s and one of the symbols for the city. The district is good for a wander as it has many 15th-century buildings in mint condition, on a tangle of steep lanes delivering you...
There aren’t many modern art museums that can engage with children as well as adults, but the Jean Tinguely is certainly one. It’s filled with the whimsical metallic contraptions designed by the 20th-century sculptor. Grown-ups will appreciate the irony and humour in TInguely’s works, while kids’ imaginations will be set free by these colourful mac...
Back on the French side of the Rhine, what could be the world’s greatest car museum is in Mulhouse, less than half an hour by car to the north. This was a secret private collection, put together by the Schlumpf brothers, a pair of textile industrialists and hidden in the old mills that contain this museum. It’s the world’s largest single collection...

The king died on August 25 at the age of 56, certainly of a disease close to the plague or dysentery. The new king, Philip III, wanted his father's remains to be repatriated to France. On May 21, 1271 the coffin of Louis IX is exposed in Notre-Dame de Paris and the funeral takes place in the basilica of Saint Denis the following day.
