You can try this, unfortunately there is no English version for the website. You might try to find a French version though.
It is called Saar-Lor-Lux Ticket and is valid in the province of Saarland, on the lines between Trier and the Lux, Fr and Saarland's borders respectively and in the whole country of Luxembourg, as well as the French region of Lorraine (I'm not sure whether Nancy is included, but Metz is).
You can purchase it anywhere in Germany, as well as online. The DB site is not very clear about purchasing abroad, but it claims that it can be purchased from the train conductors.
It is valid in 2nd class trains only. In Germany in regional trains only, in Luxembourg everywhere, on the lines Trier-Luxembourg and Saarburecken-Metz you can use the IC as well. In France you CANNOT use the ICE and TGV.
It is valid 00:00 - 03:00 on the following day, but ONLY on Saturday and Sunday.
Price: 20 euro single, 20 euro plus 10 euro per additional person.
I hope that this information will help you.
Enjoy you trip in this fantastic area.
