Encyclopedic overview

Grand Est ( French: [ɡʁɑ̃t‿ɛst] ; English: "Greater East") is one of France's landlocked administrative regions, this being in northeastern France. It superseded three former administrative regions, Alsace, Champagne-Ardenne, and Lorraine, on 1 January 2016 under the provisional name of Alsace-Champagne-Ardenne-Lorraine (pronounced [alzas ʃɑ̃paɲ aʁdɛn lɔʁɛn], ACAL or, less commonly, ALCALIA) as a result of territorial reform which had been passed by the French Parliament in 2014.

The region sits astride three water basins (Seine, Meuse, and Rhine), spanning an area of 57,433 km (22,175 sq mi), the fifth largest in France; it includes two mountain ranges (Vosges and Ardennes). It shares borders with Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, and Switzerland. As of 2021, it had a population of 5,561,287 inhabitants. The prefecture and largest city is Strasbourg.
