Lorraine is one the 26 administrative regions of France and is located in the northeast of the country near to the German border. There are two major cities in the area of Lorraine, Metz and Nancy, as well as lots of countryside for hikers and cyclists to explore. The region has its own strong culture, including local German dialects, though everyone you meet will also speak French. While visiting, you should try the specialty of the area: Quiche Lorraine.
