Eternal Moselle

ETERNAL MOSELLE

Eternal Moselle (La Moselle Éternelle / Ewige Mosel) is a graphic novel published in Luxembourg by 360Crossmedia, written by Birgit Gadell and Jérôme Bloch, with artwork by Juan Alarcón. Conceived as an illustrated journey along the Moselle River, the book follows its course from Bussang in France to Koblenz in Germany, exploring the landscapes, history, cultural heritage, gastronomy and wine traditions that connect France, Luxembourg and Germany. Combining comics with cultural and travel storytelling, the project presents the Moselle as a shared European territory, bringing together historical anecdotes, remarkable locations, winemakers, restaurants and personalities encountered along the river.

Published in four separate language editions — English, French, German and Luxembourgish —, Eternal Moselle was developed through extensive on-location research: its authors travelled throughout the Moselle region, personally visiting and assessing many of the places featured in the book. All artwork was drawn by Juan Alarcón without the use of generative AI, while the overall project took more than nine months to develop. The book is published by 360Crossmedia Sàrl, Luxembourg, and is currently offered at €19.90. Its combination of graphic storytelling, travel, European heritage, wine culture and gastronomy positions Eternal Moselle as both a graphic novel and an illustrated cultural journey through one of Europe’s most distinctive cross-border regions.
