From the Vosges to the Eifel: Scenic Drive Along French and Luxembourg Borders
Embark on an unforgettable journey through the rolling hills of the Vosges, the Lorraine plateau, and the verdant landscapes straddling the French, Luxembourg, and German borders. Begin your drive near Vesoul, winding north through picturesque Lorraine villages and tranquil rural vistas. Discover Nancy’s elegant architecture if you wish to make a detour, then follow the Moselle River valley with its charming stone towns and historic fortresses. As you approach Metz, glimpse grand cathedrals and vibrant markets, then continue east past Thionville’s medieval heritage toward the dramatic cliffs of Luxembourg’s Little Switzerland (Müllerthal). Marvel at the breathtaking viewpoints near Echternach before crossing into Germany. Venture through the lush green hills of the Eifel, dotted with ancient castles and peaceful riverside hamlets. The route culminates near the Ardennes’ edge, close to charming Prüm and the spa town of Bad Münstereifel. This drive promises awe-inspiring panoramas, idyllic picnic spots, and countless opportunities to explore French, Luxembourgish, and German cultural gems.
