View from Mount Donon

Perfect views over Germany and France. This sign is in German, probabĺy from a period when Alsace was under German control.

And even that is a bit optimistic.

Bienvenu - Welcome

Forbach greets you.

Saarmündung - Mouth of the Saar

Here the Saar flows into the Mosel. With that, this blog has covered all 200km of the Saar from Sarralbe in France to this spot. You can trace the course with photos on Google Maps. There remain about 60km to cover, from the source of the Saar to Sarralbe.

Staden fleurie

Has Saarbrücken become part of France again?

Addendum: I see my comment might be a bit cryptic. Saarbrücken has passed between French and German (or Prussian) hands several times. Between 1797 and 1815, it was actually part of France and, between 1945 and 1955, it was a French-run protectorate. Currently, it is very much part of Germany and pretty much monolingual. That makes this sign surprising. It is in French and says: “Flowery Staden (a part of Saarbrücken). National Council of Wild Public Gardens”. I think this French council does not exist, but it would appear to have awarded Staden a three flower rating.
