Lorraine


Lorraine is proud of its strategic position at the border of Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany.

The tourist sites in the Lorraine region
Lorraine is France’s only region that shares its border with three countries: Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany. No wonder it has often been a battleground between France and Germany. Lorraine, which was French, German, then French again, is a mixture of Roman and Germanic culture. The region has set off a rich, diverse heritage to its best advantage.
