Meurthe-et-Moselle

Meurthe-et-Moselle is located in northeastern France, in the Grand Est region, with Nancy as its capital, a city known for its Art Nouveau architecture and 18th-century royal squares (a UNESCO World Heritage site). The department has a strong industrial history (iron mining, steel) that in recent decades has shifted toward services, higher education, and technology. Nancy is known as an important university city with a lower cost of living than Strasbourg. The department's landscape includes hills, forests, and the Moselle River valley, and its proximity to Luxembourg creates good cross-border job opportunities.
