Located in north-eastern France, alongside Switzerland and Germany, Alsace enjoys an ideal location in the heart of Europe. Alsace is the fourth-smallest of the 26 regions of France in land area and the smallest in metropolitan France. It is also the sixth-most densely populated region in France and third most densely populated region in metropolitan France.

The name "Alsace" derives from the Germanic Ell-sass, meaning "Seated on the Ill" a river in Alsace.
