Strasbourg is also the seat of the Council of Europe, European Parliament and European Court of Human Rights.
The Metropole du Grand Nancy or Grand Nancy is the region's third most populated inter-urban area.
Strasbourg and Nancy are the Grand Est's only inter-urban areas with the status of 'metropolis'.
Mulhouse Alsace Agglomération is the region's second most populated inter-urban area with over 250,000 inhabitants.
Finally, Metz Métropole and Reims Metropole are the other two largest inter-urban communities (over 200 000 inhabitants).
The Grand Est brings together the historical regions of Alsace, Lorraine and Champagne, and is thus a blend of Latin and Germanic traditions that vary from an area to another.
A major place of international trade
The Grand Est economy relies on industry, agriculture and trade.
It is also a major place of international trade exchanges.
Firstly, it has common borders with Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany and Switzerland.
Secondly, it is centered on the Rhine Valley, the focal point of the European Megalopolis or Manchester–Milan Axis, also known as the Blue Banana.
This discontinuous corridor of urbanisation is a major trade axis on the continent, as it gathers some 111 millions inhabitants.
Goods transit to and from the ports of the North Sea via the Rhine's major river ports of Strasbourg, Mulhouse, Metz and Nancy.
Add to this an extensive network of river ways - Meuse, Moselle, Marne and Saône.
Finally the international airport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg, contributes to these international exchanges.
The Franco-Swiss airport, renamed EuroAirport in 1987, is located in France and is the only bi-national airport in the world.
Three other airports serve the Grand Est: Strasbourg-Entzheim, Metz-Nancy-Lorraine and Chalons-Vatry.
The TGV connects Paris to Strasbourg, and the TGV Marseille - Lyon - Frankfurt am Main stops in Mulhouse and Strasbourg.

Hunting. Fishing. Gathering. Amid deep lakes, wild rice fields, majestic maple trees, and wild and bountiful berries, the Ojibwe thrived in the mid-1700s, following the cycle of the seasons. A profound respect for nature was instilled in every child.
Pressures from non-Indian culture led to hardship and poverty, but the Ojibwe worked hard towards a better future.
In 1988, the Federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act helped those dreams become a reality. The Mille Lacs Band opened Grand Casino Mille Lacs and Grand Casino Hinckley in 1991 and 1992, creating thousands of jobs and generating revenues that benefit the Band, its nearly 4,600 members, and its non-Indian neighbors.
Casino revenues have helped the Mille Lacs Band build and improve schools, health care facilities, community centers, a water treatment facility, roads, ceremonial buildings, and more. Millions of dollars have also been donated to food shelves, schools, hospitals, law enforcement agencies, and other organizations that serve the entire community. The casinos have also attracted new residents to the area, boosted tourism, and created dozens of new businesses across the region.
