Trams are fun - and I can't get enough of them. The Ramada provided a week pass - so all places are accessible including the airport at Mulhouse. At each tram stop is a sign that tells the time for the next tram. Wonderfully convenient particularly for impatient Frank.

There are also two small ferries, powered by the river. The cable is attached to the boat and the combination of river current and steering propels the ferry across the river.
