Abstract: The aim of this paper is to highlight the differences in attractiveness policies for the development of operational logistics activities in Lorraine and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. It is also to observe the consequences on the geographical and relational organization for these activities. In a first time, the research discusses the interest that the development of the logistics sector represents for these two spaces, but also shows the achievements and projects in this sphere. After examining the results of a comparative analysis and mobilizing the polysemous concept of proximity, the thinking leads to the presentation of policy differences and their impact on the development and territorial structure of logistics activities. It synthesizes the results by proposing two typical patterns of attractiveness. The paper finally shows a complementarity rather than an opposition from the results of policies and suggests some recommendations for a more cooperative and interterritorial view of relationships between players of both territories for future development opportunities.
