Metz trip planner

Located at the confluence of the Moselle and the Seille rivers bordering Luxembourg and Germany, Metz has a cultural confluence as well with a merging of its French and German heritage and military traditions. Due to this merging of cultures, some criticize the town unduly. The town features a beautiful old town built using "Pierre de Jaumont," a local yellow-colored limestone. Everything in the city center is easily accessible on foot and much of the main downtown and shopping areas have pedestrians-only roadways. For a fun way to see the city and countryside, rent a bicycle from one of the kiosks next to the train station or across the street from the cathedral. You'll find that the paved paths are well-marked, well-maintained, and mostly flat. Use our France online trip itinerary maker to arrange your visit to Metz and other destinations in France.
