Metz (pronounced [mɛs] in French) is a city in the northeast of France, capital of the Lorraine region and prefecture of the Moselle department.
It is located at the confluence of the Moselle and the Seille rivers.
Although historically Nancy was the capital of the duchy of Lotharingia, it was Metz which was chosen as the capital of the newly created région of Lorraine in the middle of the 20th century, because of its past history as the capital of the region of Lotharingia - an origin found much more republican-friendly than the duchy-related theory, pointing to Nancy as the region capital.
