Metz France

Metz is the capital of the Lorraine region of France and located in the Moselle departement that borders Luxembourg and Germany. Due to its German heritage, and military tradition, Metz is not quite your typical French town, it is a unique town in France thanks to a great historical background and features a beautiful old town built using the "pierre de Jaumont", a local yellow coloured limestone. Its 390,000 inhabitant agglomeration gathers historical elements of many periods: roman vestiges, Middle Ages old city, 18th classicism buildings, German style neighbourhood of the annexation and contemporary museums. There are several important monuments to see, as well as to enjoy the strolls in the downtown pedestrian area, with narrow colourful streets, or along the banks of the rivers. The city has a rich history of about two thousand years. The Cathedrale de Saint-Etienne de Metz is a delight and it is a very green city with a wide range of parks and squares.Metz is truly a historically fascinating city, Roman ruins coexist with Art Nouveau and futuristic architecture in complete harmony.
