Lorraine is a 'frontier department' in north-east France that shares borders with three European countries - Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany. The department has the unenviable distinction of being the main invasion route for France, and many a hostile invasion has crossed the region in the last 1200 years.

Places to visit in Lorraine

It is true to say that Lorraine is not at the top of the list of French tourist destinations, but all the same there are some sights and places of interest to discover.

- the town and citadel at Bitche

- Verdun, in the north of the region, was the scene of one of the most terrible battles in the history of war, from 1916-1918 and perhaps 750,000 dead. Even now, 90 years later, many people like to visit this solemn place and pay tribute and their respects to those who died. The battlefields are a very moving place to visit.

- Nancy, on the banks of the Meurthe, is a pleasant, attractive 18th century town to the south of Metz

- The town of Bar-le-Duc has an interesting old town to discover
