"The fortunes of France's two old northeast provinces - Alsace and Lorraine have filled many pages of history. They lie along the boundary of France and Germany at the crossroads of trans-European travel. This positiond briniing them wealth and commerce, but it also placed then in the path of war and invasion. Their nationality shifted repeatedly as the great powers fought for possession of their fertile fields and rich resources. Today they compose one of France's most important industrial areas. Although the two provinces are often spoken of as a single territory, they are actually quite distict regions. Alsace starts as a gentle plain west of the Rhine. It rises to the western boundary in the Vosges. Lorraine lies to the west otream carved plateau that merges with the Paris Basin. Alsace was a part of Germany for several centuries but was given back to France in 1648 by the Treaty of Westphalia. In 1681 the French seized and retained Strasbourg, the chief city of the region."
