"Salü" and welcome to the capital of Saarland! Saarbrücken is so close to France that you can board a tram at the main train station and get off it in Sarreguemines, France. That has added a relaxed French flair to the city that you won't find anywhere else in Germany. Sitting in a café on the St. Johann market square on a nice day, you might just as well be in Metz or Nancy, the French cities closest to you.
