Strasbourg is the administrative center of which French region?

Alsace is a cultural and historical region in eastern France now located in the administrative region of Grand Est. Alsace is located on France's eastern border and on the west bank of the upper Rhine adjacent to Germany and Switzerland.

From 1982 until January 2016, Alsace was also the smallest (but not the least populated) of 22 administrative régions in metropolitan France. Territorial reform passed by the French legislature in 2014 resulted in the merger of the Alsace administrative region with Champagne-Ardenne and Lorraine to form Grand Est.

The historical predominant language of much of Alsace is Alsatian, a set of Alemannic dialects closely related to Swabian and Swiss German. After World War II, most Alsatians began to primarily speak French, the official language of France.

For more than 300 years, from the Thirty Years' War to World War II, the political status of Alsace has been heavily contested between France and various German states in many wars and diplomatic conferences.

The economic and cultural capital, as well as largest city of Alsace, is Strasbourg. The city is the seat of several international organizations and bodies.
