Historic center of Nancy (Nancy), Lorraine (Lorraine). Lorraine is a former region in northeastern France.

French region Lorraine is a province located in northeastern France. The official administrative center of the region is city ​​of Metz which houses the regional parliament.

The total population of the region is 2,350,657 people. The coat of arms of the province depicts a shield, in the golden field of which there is a scarlet baldric, burdened with three alerions.

The area of ​​Lorraine is 23,547 square kilometers. They flow through it numerous rivers, among which the most famous Meuse (Meuse) and Moselle. Lorraine is the only French region bordering on three foreign countries - Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany.

The French region of Lorraine (Lorraine) has long been the subject of contention and territorial dispute between France and Germany, which greatly influenced the culture and history of the entire region. Modern Lorraine combines everything best features French and German presence, which she acquired in the process of centuries of history, including during the German occupation.

The German trace is especially noticeable in the architectural orderliness of the development of settlements, as well as in the linguistic features of the disputed land. Directly in Lorraine there is a language border: in the east they speak mainly German, and in the west they use, as a rule, French.

History of the Lorraine region

The current region of Lorraine is significantly inferior in area to the medieval Duchy of Lorraine, but surpasses the later historical province. In addition to this province, it includes areas of the former provinces of Barrois and Trois-Evesche.

Throughout the long history of the borders of modern Lorraine have changed repeatedly. So in 843, according to the Treaty of Verdun, the united Frankish state was divided among the three grandsons of Charlemagne. One of them, Lothair, became the owner of the territory stretching from Frisia to Rome, which included Lorraine. In 870, the area received the status of a duchy, confirmed in 962 by Otto I, according to which it remained part of the Holy Roman Empire until 1766.

During the 12th and 13th centuries, the duchy prospered under the Hohenstaufen emperors, but this development ended in the 14th century due to cold winters, poor harvests, and the Black Death. IN renaissance the region gradually began to recover under Habsburg rule, which lasted until the Thirty Years' War.

Between 1766 and 1871, Lorraine remained part of France, becoming a cause for revisionism. The population of the province was mixed, but mostly German-speaking. In 1871, part of the region went under the jurisdiction of Germany, which parted with it only after the end of the First World War; nevertheless, the Lorraine did not want to be part of it, remaining loyal to France.

With the exception of the period of the Second World War (1940-1944), the region remained French, and local authority strongly impeded the spread of the German language and culture. French became the only language in schools. After the wars, most of the Germans left the region, but even those who remain do not want an alliance with Germany, even on the terms of autonomy.

Culture of the Lorraine region

Most of the inhabitants of the Lorraine region associate and relate themselves to France. Otto von Bismarck, following the results of the Franco-Prussian war, annexed to Germany one third of the territory of today's Lorraine.

The disputed third, also known as the Moselle, had a culture that was difficult to classify, with both Romance and Germanic dialects present. The latter are preserved in the northern part of the region.

Like most other regional languages ​​of France (Breton, West Flemish, Provençal and Alsatian), local dialects have been largely replaced French, starting with the emergence of compulsory general education in the XIX-XX centuries.

However, there are a number of projects to preserve them (the use of a bilingual designation in the case of the German dialect and the creation of language classes for young children), and many older people continue to speak them.

Sights of Lorraine

In fact, Lorraine is located on the territory of a busy transport crossroads, bordering on Germany, Belgium and the Duchy of Luxembourg. It is worth noting that in this French province the metallurgical industry is very developed, but this does not greatly affect environmental situation in the region.

The historical center of Lorraine is the city of Metz, where you can see the world famous attractions such as Malbrook Castle and St Stephen's Cathedral, as well as many monastic complexes that have survived to this day.

As for other popular tourist and excursion places Lorraine, then among them it is worth highlighting Stanislav Square (city ​​of Nancy), Gorze Abbey(15 kilometers southwest of Metz) and the Abbey of St. Vincent (Island of Chambiere).

It should also be noted that the heyday of most of the cities and settlements of Lorraine fell on the century before last, however, many monuments of the cultural and architectural heritage of the region failed to survive the difficult milestones of European history.

Lorraine was affected by both world wars, in which more than half of all civilizational heritage was lost. Many buildings were rebuilt from scratch after the war and are carefully guarded by the government and citizens. The main cities of the region are Verdun, Nancy and Epinal.

Lorraine is located in the northeast of France, next to Belgium, Germany and Luxembourg. that is why it is often called the land of three frontiers (“Pays de Trois Frontières”). This region includes 4 departments: Meuse, Meurthe and Moselle, Moselle and Vosges. These departments were formed during the French Revolution in the territories of the province of Barrois, the three bishoprics (Metz, Verdun and Toul) and the historic Duchy of Lorraine. The capital of Lorraine is the city of Nancy. Majority local population speaks French, unlike Alsace, where German, although the culinary preferences are strongly influenced by Germany. The climate is reminiscent of the south of England, with warm summer months and cool winters. The temperate climate of the region attracts tourists and potential property buyers.

The agricultural output of Lorraine accounts for only 2.8% of France's annual gross income. However, this does not mean that the locals do not like to engage in agriculture. They grow oats and wheat on the clay and limestone soil of western Lorraine. Numerous limestone ridges in the departments of Meuse and Moselle served as natural barriers to frequent raids on Lorraine, while in other areas, fortresses and walls were built to secure the lowlands between the ridges.

There are many sloping pastures in Lorraine and therefore the production of dairy products is well established in the region. The famous local Gamay varieties are used, among other things, for the production of Beaujolais wine. To the delight of connoisseurs, the local pale red wine "Cote de Toul" has a strong fruity or floral aroma. The region has a rich tradition of wine and beer production, although many local breweries have ceased operations. Local kitchen gained worldwide recognition thanks to traditional dishes, as "quiche lorraine" (smoked bacon, popular all over the world, is an invariable ingredient in the cuisine of Lorraine).

Due to the recession in the mining, textile and metallurgical industries, the unemployment rate has risen. Economic stability in the region is supported by high rates of development of the service sector.

With a population of approximately 2.5 million, Lorraine boasts a cultural wealth that goes far beyond military history. Despite the French government's "single language" policy, the region is still a mixture of various dialects and nationalities, which often cannot be attributed to either the French or the Germans.

The two main cities of Lorraine, Metz and Nancy, are characterized by a rich cultural heritage and beauty. However, the rest of this region, consisting of windswept farmland and industrial areas, does not contribute to the popularity of Lorraine among homeowners. This means that property prices and the cost of living are quite low. Anyone wishing to buy a property in a picturesque countryside can choose what they like for a very affordable price. Just a few hours drive from the Moselle, a property for sale in an ecologically clean area. This perfect place both for buying a family hearth and for investing abroad. The new high-speed electric train "Te-Zhe-Ve" with the Paris-Strasbourg service makes this area even more accessible.

Useful information for tourists about Lorraine in France - geographical location, tourist infrastructure, map, architectural features and attractions.

Lorraine is a region in northeastern France. It borders on three European states - Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg.

The administrative center of the region is the city of Metz, others big cities- Nancy, Verdun, Epinal. The region includes the departments of Meuse, Meurthe and Moselle, Moselle, Vosges.

The first settlements in this area appeared under the Gauls, then the Romans who came to these lands erected many defensive, cultural and household structures. Due to its favorable location at the intersection of many transport "arteries" of the Middle Ages, Lorraine was the subject of increased interest of both France and Germany, so the borders of Lorraine changed many times, the area was "redrawn". After the First World War, Lorraine again went to France. In modern Lorraine, the influence of German culture and the German language is still noticeable.

The city of Metz is also the capital of the department of Moselle and has centuries of history- the settlement was founded by the Celts, but people also lived here before them. The most famous sights of the city are medieval buildings - two bridges of the Dead, Opera theatre(mid-18th century) and Saint-Stefan Cathedral, decorated with stained-glass windows of the 13th-14th centuries and paintings by artists of the 20th century, including Marc Chagall. During the period when Lorraine belonged to Germany, a Lutheran church was built in Metz, which was consecrated in the presence of Wilhelm II in 1904.

The first mention of Nancy dates back to the 8th century, four centuries later the city even became the capital of the Duchy of Lorraine, and was included in France only in the second half of the 18th century. One of the famous natives of the city is the mathematician Henri Poincaré. In the old part of Nancy, you can see buildings built between the 14th and 18th centuries - the duke's palace, the church of the Cordeliers, the ensemble of three squares - Stanislas, La Carrière and the Government.

The city of Verden also grew out of a Gallic settlement. The main attraction of the city - the Verdun Cathedral - at the end of the 20th century turned a thousand years old. The cathedral is notable for its unique stained-glass windows and a combination of various architectural styles Baroque, Gothic and Romanesque. Also in Verdun you can see the remains of city fortifications - towers and gates, some of which were built in the XIV, and others in the XIX century.

Epinal is the capital of the Vosges department. The city was formed around a monastery built in the 10th century. The main local attraction is the oldest building in the city, the Saint-Martin Basilica, founded in the 11th century.

One of the symbols of Lorraine and the "signature" product of the region is the mirabelle plum variety. For Lorraine, it has the same meaning as olives for Provence. It is used in the production of confectionery and liqueurs. Mirabelle has been grown in Lorraine since the 15th century, mirabelle has two varieties - grown in Metz and in Nancy. In honor of mirabelle, since 1947, a big celebration has been held in Metz every year with dances, festivities and fireworks.

For many centuries, the population of the Duchy of Lorraine has traditionally been loyal to France. Therefore, no matter what winds blew over the Lorraine Plateau, its inhabitants always knew that only their sincere devotion to France would bring them happiness. Today, Lorraine is one of the most economically developed regions of France and all of Central Europe.

APPLE OF DISCORD

Over the centuries, Lorraine was repeatedly divided into separate parts that were part of different states, but she again restored her historical borders, and her people always kept the loyalty of France.

Most of The region of Lorraine is located within the Paris Basin, or the North French Lowland, a rolling plain in northern France. This part of Lorraine is called the Lorraine Plateau and gradually rises from west to east and north, where mountain range Vosges. Along the edges of the Lorraine Plateau, cuestas stretched from north to south: arched ridges characteristic of France with steep outer and gentle inner slopes.

Lorraine has a dense network deep rivers related to the Rhine basin.

Lorraine - historical area and a modern economic region in the north-east of France, as well as the only region of the country bordering three countries at once: Belgium (Wallonia), Luxembourg and Germany (Saarland, Rhineland-Palatinate). The strategically important location of Lorraine between four European states played a decisive role in its history and the formation of its current borders.

The first people settled here hundreds of thousands of years ago. Then these lands were conquered by the Romans, who later retreated under the pressure of the Germanic tribes.

As a result of the unification of the Germanic tribes into an alliance, the Merovingian dynasty appeared, the first dynasty of Frankish kings in the history of France, nicknamed "long-haired".

According to the Treaty of Verdun in 843, the empire of the Frankish king Charles I the Great was divided into three parts between his grandsons. One of them - Lothair - received lands stretching from Frisia to Rome itself. northern territory began to be called "Lothari Regnum", or the State of Lothar. Hence the name of Lorraine, which in 870 received the status of a duchy. According to the Mersen Treaty of 870, the duchy was divided between the West Frankish and East Frankish kingdoms, restored in 895 and abolished again in 900. The status of the duchy was confirmed in 962 by the king of Germany and later by Emperor Otto I the Great, who included it in the structure of the Holy Roman Empire. Formally, Lorraine was subordinate to the Holy Roman Empire, but already from the 13th century. its economic, political and cultural ties with France intensified. The dukes of Lorraine stubbornly declared themselves vassals of the French kings.

Such devotion of the Lorraine did not go unnoticed by France: from the second half of the 16th century. began active annexation of Lorraine lands by it. In 1633, during the Thirty Years' War, France owned almost all of Lorraine, and according to the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, Metz, Toul and Verdun were also transferred to France. In 1697 the Duchy of Lorraine was restored once again.

The Treaty of Vienna in 1738 ended the War of the Polish Succession: Lorraine was transferred into possession for life former king The Commonwealth to Stanislav Leshchinsky, after whose death in 1766 it became part of France as a special province.

In the 19th century Lorraine became one of the most economically developed French regions, turning into an iron ore region of the country.

Later, Lorraine twice went to Germany: in 1871-1919, when it became the German state of Alsace-Lorraine under the Treaty of Frankfurt in 1871, and in 1940-1945, when it was annexed by Nazi Germany. But each time Lorraine again returned to France.

Today, Lorraine is much smaller in area than the medieval duchy of the same name.

Lorraine no longer produces as much coal and iron ore as in former times, but it is extremely profitable geographic location on the border of three foreign states at once, which used to be the curse of the region, now brings tangible income. Magnificent scenery, high hills, green plains, valleys of small streams and ski resorts attract tourists from all over the world.

REGION WITH TWO CAPITALS

The official administrative center of Lorraine is the city of Metz, where the regional government, including the parliament, is located.

Another city of Lorraine - Nancy is much smaller than Metz in area, almost equal to it in terms of population and is considered historical and cultural capital Lorraine. For centuries, Nancy was the seat of the Dukes of Lorraine. The main attractions of the city are concentrated on its three squares - Place de la Quarry, Place d "Alliance and Stanislav and are inscribed in the general architectural ensemble Nancy. Stanisław Square dates back to the 18th century, when King Stanisław Leszczynski of Poland settled in Nancy after his daughter's marriage to King Louis XV of France and built this square, dividing the city into old and new.

Nancy has great importance for the entire north-east of France, representing its administrative, legal, university, commercial and industrial center.

There's been so much going on around here historical events that every city in Lorraine is at least something, but famous The town of Domremy is located in the valley of the Meuse River. There are about 200 inhabitants here, but it is mentioned in the annals of the 11th century. The Orleans maiden Joan of Arc, the national heroine of France, was born and raised here. Her house, declared a national treasure of the country, has been preserved in Domremy.

Lorraine is the most important economic region of France. On the left bank of the Moselle is the largest Western Europe Lorraine iron ore basin. Also here is the Moselle coal basin - a natural extension of the Saar coal basin. IN different areas Lorraine is home to large petrochemical plants; in the Vosges, the timber and textile industries are developed.

Lorraine is the most important European transit and transport hub. In addition to land highways, there is a dense network river channels. The Marne-Rhine Canal connects Lorraine with central France and Alsace, and the Moselle canals with the industrial regions of the Ruhr on the Rhine.

The local population lives mainly in small towns-communes and villages of two types: linear stretching along the river valleys on the plain and farm type, characteristic mainly of the valleys of the Vosges mountain region, with flat roofs covered with tiles.

In order to protect nature in 1974, the Regional natural Park Lorraine, occupying more than 200 thousand hectares, or 11% of the region. It includes the valley of the river Meuse with its unique floodplain natural complex, the Voivre Plain with the artificial Madine Lake and the Queen's Forest - a significant array of moist forests south of the Voivre Plain. The Queen's Forest is named after the cruel Frankish ruler Fredegonde (545-597). It is a reserve for birds characteristic of Lorraine: white-collared flycatcher, six species of Lorraine woodpeckers, honey buzzard, red kite, hobby, marsh harrier.

The remains of the 400-kilometer Maginot Line, a system of French fortifications on the border with Germany, built in 1929-1934, became a kind of historical park in the vicinity of the city of Verdun.

Lorraine brought worldwide fame mineral springs Vittel and Contrexeville in the Vosges department, which became popular in the second half of the 19th century.

In 869 the church hosted the coronation of Charles II. In 965-984, the cathedral was reconstructed at the expense of Kings Otto I and Otto II.

During archaeological sites conducted in the twentieth century, it was found that the modern cathedral stands almost exactly on the site of the ancient basilica. And in 1220, it was decided to build a large Cathedral in honor of Saint Stephen. Since then, six construction periods have passed, and the duration of the work was almost 300 years. The consecration of the new cathedral took place on April 11, 1552.

St. Stephen's Cathedral is a magnificent example of Gothic architecture. Its facades are decorated with sculptures and carvings. Due to its size, the cathedral is one of the largest in France. However, its main attraction is the luxurious stained-glass windows of the 14th and 16th centuries - it is here that the largest collection of stained-glass windows in France is located. Among them are 19 stained-glass windows by Marc Chagall.
