Just behind the German-French border is an area that literally connects the two European countries. It is not only the history and culture of the region that have been  determined by Germany and France but also many similarities were developed. The rivers and canals provide with its remarkable water buildings still represent a living connection between the countries. Since German is spoken almost everywhere, this area is especially interesting  for German-speaking customers.
