Know Before You Go

The meeting point can be the train station or your hotel in Metz center.

Visit the 800-year-old Gothic Cathedral in Metz. It has amazing Chagall stained glass windows and is built from yellow Jaumont limestone.

We will just pass by the Pompidou Museum to admire its spectacular architecture. More than a museum, Pompidou-Metz creates a sensory relationship with the environment.

The originality of the Musée de La Cour d'Or is due to its re-creation of the universe of the ancient and medieval city's inhabitants. A real site museum, the Cour d'Or contains Gallo-Roman thermal baths, a medieval granary, an ancient church and a 17th-century staircase: these architectural elements provide a framework which is symbiotically linked to the collections and is masterfully imposing. (closed on Tuesdays)

The Germans' Gate is a medieval bridge castle and city gate in Metz, France. It is "a relic of the medieval fortifications, with two 13th c. round towers and two gun bastions of the 15th c

The Imperial District was created following the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71 when the fate of Metz changed dramatically.
