Eastern France

The City of Lyon

Eastern France is made up of the three recently created Régions of Grand-Est, Bourgogne-Franche-Compté and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.

Grand-Est

The Grand-Est is the old region of Alsace-Lorraine famous for its quaint old Alsatian villages, the magnificent cities of Metz and Nancy not to mention Colmar the capital of Alsatian wine plus of course Champagne-Ardenne, synonymous with the historical Province of Champagne.

Bourgogne-Franche-Compté

Bourgogne-Franche-Compté is the ancient region of Burgundy in its various guises combining the Jura with the world renowned wine producing areas of the Bourgogne such as the Côte de Nuits, Chablis and the Mâconnais and featuring the Cities of Dijon and Beaune.

Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes in south-east central France was also created by the reform of the Régions, following the merger of two independent areas. The new Région is protected by the mountains of the Auvergne in the west, the mighty Alps to the east and bisected by the Saone and Rhône Rivers which have their confluence at the fascinating city, and the Région’s Prefecture, of Lyon.
