Identity

A land of borders marked by the history of iron and steel, Lorraine has a strong identity based on the value of work and solidarity. It is a land of “materials engineering”, from art crystal to heavy metallurgy.

The R3 project gives Lorraine the means for its own cross-border strategy with Luxembourg and Germany.
