This Lorraine that makes the Luxembourg Moselle sparkle

Comfortable in front of a camera, not intimidated in front of a microphone and above all ” with this cross-border region in (s)on DNA»: this is Véronique Odrian. But above all, the dynamic quinqua has no equal in taking its world on board through encounters, landscapes, traditions, specialties and citizens who form this “ magic triangle » near Schengen, Perl and Apach. “ I am nin Thionvilleof a French-German father who has always taken us through these corners of Moselle where three countries have learned to live in peace. This is where it all came from! »

Everything is memories but above all a attachment to this territory which opened his mind and taught him to overcome the limits that geographical, cultural and linguistic borders can sometimes constitute. This taste for LA Moselle (Luxembourg, French or German) and Belgium not far away, Véronique was first able to share it on France 3 Lorraine. The TV channel entrusts him with presentation of a show (“Countries here and there”). And then his passion leads him to train in cross-border development and tourism in the Greater Region.

Here she is, in particular, responsible for promoting visits to the Château des ducs de Lorraine in Sierck-les-Bains, creating her cross-border tourism promotion agency or even director of the Luxembourg House in Thionville… Before moving – for love – to Aveyron. From the North East of France to the South West… And what could have been a heartbreak turned into “ refreshing change of scenery », to use Véronique’s words.

A shoot as a gift

At 900 km of Lorraine, the Grand Duchy, Wallonia, the Rhineland, attachment to particularisms of the region has resurfaced. “ The strongly rooted European fact, the common history of the 4 neighboring countries, the human intermingling: all of this does not necessarily exist elsewhere so I was once again keen to promote it. » During these 5 years spent there, she first created a programme radio highlighting the charms and personalities of the Greater region and this “ Moselle so sparkling with life on each side of its two bankss”. She then goes so far as to bring together Schengen and Najac in sight of a twinning.

Then comes the proposal from his son, Audric. At the head of an audiovisual company, he offers a few days of filming. When she wants, where she wants and therefore… in Luxembourg’s Moselle! “ This new immersion was like a reset. It was even more important for me to visit, meet, discuss and share “. Result of his wanderings, a 52 minute program baptized “Hello Bonjour Luxembourg & Grande Région“.

The idea appealed to the local channel Moselle TV. Interview with Minister Léon Gloden, history of Marie-Astrid, meeting with the mayor of Wormeldange, a little tour through a Riesling festival, a detour through the vines, the presenter multiplies the angles. “ As many subjects as this Land of three borders is varied. But I take the time to let people speak and show! »

This “return to the sources” above all gave Véronique the desire to broadcast other reports on screens in the Greater Region. Notice to anyone who would like to accompany her, she is expecting partners. With already in mind a project around 40 years of the Schengen Agreements. « Il faut témoigner du “Litzburger Miseler Way of”. Life” and the art of living of this entire border sector, particularly for newcomers to the sector. But I believe that even between neighbors in Lorraine, Grand Duchy, Wallonia, Rhineland, we don’t know each other that well. So if these shows can bring people together, I’ll be delighted! ».

So if, one day on a walk, you come across a poppy red dress followed by a camera, get closer. Véronique will know what to tell you and how to ask you about your experience here.
