Bordeaux-Merignac Airport

Cradled by the Rhine and home to nearly 200,000 inhabitants, Basel is the third largest and most dynamic city in Switzerland, boasting an international atmosphere and a major port. Basel is a thriving city with a strong chemical industry, is home to countless financial and insurance firms and is renowned for its carnival and international contemporary art fair, Art Basel.
The Alsatian city of Mulhouse is home to just 110,000 inhabitants yet nearly 200,000 people line in the Mulhouse urban area. Almost like a French version of the city of Manchester, Mulhouse has seen the emergence and development of major companies such as Alstom, Alcatel and Delmas-Vieljeux while key players in the automobile, chemistry, electronics and textiles industries continue to operate from sites based there.
And finally, the city of Freiburg, home to 220,000 inhabitants, lies on the edge of the Black Forest in South Germany. The city is naturally oriented towards renewable energies and is a major academic centre.
Lying as they do no more than seventy kilometres apart, the three cities communicate intensely with each other, providing a successful example of economic, artistic and tourist collaboration within Europe. Passenger totals for EuroAirport have reached 4 million, including 230,000 tourists to the three bordering regions.
