Regional Council of Lorraine

The Regional Council of Lorraine (Conseil régional de Lorraine, Regionalrat von Lothringen) was the deliberative assembly of the former French region of Lorraine until December 31, 2015, following the region's incorporation with Champagne-Ardenne and Alsace to form the new Grand Est region.

It has 73 members and sits in the former abbey of Saint-Clément, in the Pontiffroy district of Metz. The Hôtel de Région is one of the many sites occupied by the Regional Council: boulevard de Trèves (recently renovated military buildings), Sainte-Barbe and Blida for Metz (there is also a site in Nancy).

Its last president was Jean-Pierre Masseret (PS), elected on March 28, 2004.

The Regional Council of Lorraine was also a member of the cross-border inter-regional cooperation called Grande Région, or "SaarLorLux".
