Grand Est is a region in northeastern France formed in 2016 through the merger of the former regions of Alsace, Champagne-Ardenne, and Lorraine. Historically rich, it boasts a tapestry of cultures, from the timber-framed houses of Alsace to the Gothic cathedrals of Reims, symbolizing its diverse heritage. Known for its wine production in Alsace, the coronation site of French kings in Reims, and the resilient spirit of the people of Lorraine, who have endured centuries of conflict and occupation, Grand Est is a blend of tradition and innovation. Its borders with Germany and Luxembourg contribute to its unique Franco-Germanic cultural fusion, exemplifying the intricate interplay of history and identity in the heart of Europe.
