Travelling to Metz

Travel to Metz

Capital of the Lorraine region, Metz sprung forth from the meeting of the Seille and Moselle rivers, in the most easterly part of France. Annexed by neighbouring Germany from 1871 to 1918, this historic city inspired the poet Paul Verlaine to scribble his "Ode to Metz". Since Gallo-Roman times, Metz has had a long and colourful history which can be seen in its many innovative buildings.

The stained glass windows in the Gothic Cathedral of Saint-Etienne in Metz which measure 6,500m² are among the most intricate in France.
