Cité du Train - Musée français du chemin de fer
Train enthusiasts can hardly resist a stop at Cité du Train - Musée français du chemin de fer also called "Cité du Train", the largest railway museum in the world. Located in Mulhouse, the museum features an exhibition display by the famed French architect, François Seigneur, called "Le siècle d'or du chemin de fer" (The golden century of the railway). Step through time as Seigneur traces historical rail events from 1860 to 1940. Wander from one exhibit to the next in semi-darkness, and experience the evolution of rail technology and the effect it had on those whose lives revolved around rail travel and the industry as a career.

There were a lot of interesting trains, and facts about the history of railways in France. Fun to watch how trains evolve from simple steam engines to electric engines able to speed up to 500km/h.

WOW I can't describe how happy I am to have arrived here, this place made me feel like a child, to see so many trains, even to get on them and see how my ancestors traveled ... so fascinating. The location is huge and everything looks impeccable. You are fascinated by this world as you pass the museum gate. I can honestly say that I really enjoyed everything I saw
