Camping du Canal

If you’re getting your photo snapped at the Dreiländereck monument (20-minute drive), stick around in Basel to visit some of the city’s sights, including the Basel Minster cathedral and Spalentor 15th-century gateway. The culture continues at Kunstmuseum Basel fine arts museum, or you can opt for some animal-spotting at the Basel Zoo and Tierpark Lange Erlen animal park. You may as well tick off country number three by doing something in Germany while you’re here, too – the Vitra Design Museum (15 minutes), Laguna Badeland indoor and outdoor fun pools (20 minutes) and the ruins of Rötteln Castle (25 minutes) are a few options. Back in France, Camping du Canal is 25 minutes from Mulhouse, where the Cité de l'Automobile vehicle museum and Cité du Train railway museum have days sorted for those fascinated by all things that move. The Mulhouse Zoological and Botanical Park and Temple Saint-Étienne church are a couple of the city’s other highlights.
