Welcome from Grand Est!
not sure he can understand
have to be aware of your situation !
Corrected, but actually Grand Est fits for both of my countries
My country is also Est, but rather little Est
Grand Est
C´est l´Alsace?

That's got to do with French politics.
At some point, France decided to put a new structure between the "tiny" departments (95 in European France) and the "full" French administration. These were the regions, that in some cases recovered ancient region names, like Alsace.
Later, the number of regions was considered to be excessive, so a few were merged. One was Alsace, which was indeed small, but had a distinctive history of its own. Alsace became a part of a new macroregion named Grand Est.
Strasbourg/Strassburg, home to Jyrki, is Alsace's main city.
BTW. Schönau, home for next vim, must be about 5 km far of Alsace, musn't it?
