Ettore Bugatti completely fell under the charm of the region and turned Molsheim into a historical stronghold of automobile and railcar construction.

From 1910 to 1947 Ettore Bugatti, a mechanical genius, designed and manufactured in Molsheim some 7,500 top-performance automobiles that have never gone out of style. He also made railcars, machines and tooling, among others. There is worldwide acclaim for these works of art on wheels that, even today, have never been equalled in sporting records.

Every year at the beginning of September, hundreds of collectors and thousands of spectators flock to Molsheim, the cradle of the Bugatti trademark, for the
Bugatti
Festival to spend a weekend admiring these mechanical
prodigies brought in from around the world. This amazing period
can be relived through a pilgrimage along the roads in the region,
Château
Saint Jean (Saint Jean Castle) , the hostel of the Thoroughbreds, and a visit to the Bugatti family vaults in Dorlisheim.
