Metz, capital of Lorraine and the mirabelle plum, is a city with many facets that will delight lovers of leisure, culture and nature! This city of 230,000 inhabitants is surrounded by greenery with the Saint-Quentin mountain (classified Natura 2000) to the north and the Saulcy lake in the center. It is a city of history: Metz already existed three thousand years ago on the current site of the Cour d'Or museum (founded on former thermal baths) and Place Jeanne-d'Arc. In Gallo-Roman times, it was a powerful city called Divodurum. Finally, as they will read in a tourist guide to Metz, architecture lovers will not be left out if they walk between the train station and Avenue Foch. They will marvel at the Saint-Etienne cathedral, which is nicknamed the "lantern of God" because of its glass windows (some of them were made by Chagall). As far as culture is concerned, the city has it all! The Pompidou Center, theOpera-Theater and the Cour d'Or Museum are some of the must-sees for art lovers. But Metz also offers a lot of leisure activities and outings, a wide choice of bars, restaurants and shops, and its center is crossed by a pedestrian zone. Traffic is easy and you can get around the city thanks to the Mettis network. Metz is a great city to live in.
