All those who come to Metz are struck by the wealth of its natural and architectural heritage. And a stroll through the city can feel more like a journey through the centuries.

Metz - Places to See

  • Saint-Etienne Cathedral
  • Museums in the Cour d'Or

  • Place de la Comedie, Place d'Armes, and Place Saint-Thiebault.

Metz has retained numerous traces of the Roman era which made it one of the centres of the Empire. Remains can be seen in the citys Museums or in certain places in the city like Saint-Pierre-aux-Nonnains, the oldest church in France, dating back to the 4th century.

Later, as the cradle of the Carolingian dynasty, Metz was to become an artistic and cultural Mecca in Europe. The reputation of its schools and craftsmen, the numerous buildings, both places of worship and secular constructions, of which the Cathedral is the undisputed jewel in the crown, bear witness to the artistic and religious preponderance of Metz in our old continent.
