Moselle

The Moselle is a river of north-eastern France, Luxembourg and western Germany, about 545 kilometres long. Rising in the Vosges, it flows past Metz, forms part of the border between Luxembourg and Germany and joins the Rhine at Koblenz. Its valley, with Trier as its chief city, was important in Roman and medieval times and is known for its vineyards.
