Visit the Grand-Est region

Home to the European Parliament and the Council of Europe, Strasbourg has been an avant-garde city since the Middle Ages. As you stroll through its history-laden streets, you'll notice that the city has long been committed to aesthetics and environmental protection. Start your visit with Notre-Dame Cathedral and its superb frescoes, then stroll through the medieval district of Petite France before making a detour to the Neustadt, the astonishing German quarter with its well-preserved architecture. Visit the city's many museums, then treat yourself to a gourmet break and sample delicious Alsatian specialties such as foie gras, wine, brandy and chocolate.

If you're looking for postcard-perfect scenery, Colmar is the place for you! Cruise the canals of "Little Venice" and admire the half-timbered houses, balcony geraniums and sculpted fountains that make the town famous and give it its typical Alsatian look. But Colmar is more than just a magical stop on the Alsace Wine Route. With the 2016 extension of the Musée Unterlinden, the Haut-Rhin town boasts an impressive cultural heritage. And don't miss a visit to another museum: that dedicated to the sculptor Auguste Bartholdi, whose work includes the famous Statue of Liberty.

Looking for a change of scenery and wilderness? From Colmar, take the TER line to Metzeral and watch the charming villages of the Route des Vins pass by from your window, before escaping for good to the crests of the Hautes Vosges. Nestled in the Fecht valley in the Sud of Alsace, Munster is a city of culture and history, with many fine architectural monuments to admire. But don't forget your walking shoes! In summer, the town is the starting point for numerous hiking trails to the rounded peaks, steep slopes and alpine meadows of the hautes chaumes, home to the marcaires, the farmers who create the recipe for the famous Munster cheese.

What does Nancy mean to you? The majestic Place Stanislas, gilded against a blue sky? Delicious macaroons? Bergamots carefully stored in their beautiful iron tins? The historic capital of the Dukes of Lorraine? Or that of Art Nouveau, present in every street corner and behind the windows of the Majorelle museum? Or the famous Lorraine cross of Duke René II, the city's ^18th-century prince patron? Nancy is all this and much more: lively, peaceful, artistic and entertaining. The station is also the perfect starting point for a TER trip to the wild banks of the Moselle, around Metz, and the fertile plains of the Marne, towards Bar-le-Duc.

Looking for a sparkling alternative to the famous Alsace wine route? Located just 45 minutes from Paris by TGV, the city of Reims is a top destination for wine lovers. Visit the cellars of some of the city's largest and most prestigious champagne houses - and contribute in moderation to the tasting of the 250 million bottles currently resting in their basements. If you're not too dizzy, enjoy the city's rich historical heritage as you stroll along its pleasant boulevards, protected by Notre-Dame Cathedral, which has been the coronation place of French monarchs for centuries, and whose eternal beauty is well worth raising a glass in its honor.
