Lorraine, Cultural region in northeastern France
The region of Lorraine extends across the northeastern territories of France, bordering Germany and Luxembourg, featuring a mix of urban centers and rural landscapes.
Lorraine belonged to the Holy Roman Empire until 1766, when it was annexed by France, following centuries of political shifts between French and German control.
The architecture of Lorraine combines French and German influences, evident in structures like the Metz Cathedral with its extensive stained glass installations.
Travelers can reach Lorraine through direct train connections from Paris to major cities including Metz and Nancy, with regular services throughout the day.
The Cross of Lorraine, a double-crossed emblem, gained prominence during World War II as the official symbol of the Free French Forces resistance movement.
