Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Saarbrücken
Saarbrücken lies on the river Saar, close enough to the French border that some of its suburbs are across it, and the town carries both cultures in its stride. You can hear French in the market, find tarte flambée next to sausage on the menu, and watch locals switch between languages mid-sentence. It is the capital of Germany's smallest area state, the Saarland, and the region's history has been tugged back and forth between Paris and Berlin more than once.
