The use of the potato in Lorraine can be traced back to 1665 and it is used in various traditional dishes. This region is knowen for wine and beer just as most of France's regions are. Lorraine has an old Catholic heritage and almost every village has its church, even if many don't have a dedicated priest anymore. The logistics and service sectors of the region have experienced the strongest growth in recent years, while the traditional industries (textiles, mining, metallurgy) have experienced a decline.
