Introducing Metz
Present-day capital of the Lorraine région, Metz (pronounced ‘mess’) is a dignified city with stately public squares, shaded riverside parks, a large university and a lively, pedestrians-only commercial centre. Quite a few of the city’s most impressive buildings date from the 48-year period when Metz was part of the German empire. The Gothic cathedral, with its stunning stained glass, is the most outstanding attraction; the city also has a truly excellent museum of antiquities and art.
