Due to its proximity to Germany, some of the people in Lorraine speak Germanic dialects known as Lorraine Franconian. These dialects are not officially recognized by France, which promotes a single-language policy. However, in recent years, there has been enhanced consciousness over these dialects and concern that they may disappear.

The cuisine of Lorraine is heavy on potato dishes. In addition, smoked bacon is also another Lorraine specialty. The Lorraine region is also famous for its quiche. Local desserts include Madeleine, Macaron and Rum baba.
