Metz (French pronunciation: [mɛs]; German pronunciation: [mɛts]) is a city in northeast France located at the confluence of the Moselle and the Seille rivers. Metz is the prefecture of the Moselle department and the seat of the parliament of the Alsace-Champagne-Ardenne-Lorraine region. Located near the tripoint along the junction of France, Germany, and Luxembourg, the city forms a central place of the European Greater Region and the SaarLorLux euroregion.
Metz has a rich 3,000-year-history, having variously been a Celtic oppidum, an important Gallo-Roman city, the Merovingian capital of the Austrasia kingdom, the birthplace of the Carolingian dynasty, a cradle of the Gregorian chant, and one of the oldest republics in Europe. The city has been steeped in Romance culture, but has been strongly influenced by Germanic culture due to its location and history.
Because of its historical, cultural, and architectural background, Metz has been submitted on France's UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List. The city features noteworthy buildings such as the Gothic Saint-Stephen Cathedral with its largest expanse of stained-glass windows in the world, the Basilica of Saint-Pierre-aux-Nonnains being the oldest church in France, its Imperial Station Palace displaying the apartment of the German Kaiser, or its Opera House, the oldest one working in France. Metz is home to some world-class venues including the Arsenal Concert Hall and the Centre Pompidou-Metz museum.
France (French: [fʁɑ̃s]), officially the French Republic (French: République française [ʁepyblik fʁɑ̃sɛz]), is a sovereign state comprising territory in western Europe and several overseas regions and territories. The European part of France, called metropolitan France, extends from the Mediterranean Sea to the English Channel and the North Sea, and from the Rhine to the Atlantic Ocean. France spans 643,801 square kilometres (248,573 sq mi) and has a total population of 66.6 million. It is a unitary semi-presidential republic with the capital in Paris, the country's largest city and main cultural and commercial centre. The Constitution of France establishes the state as secular and democratic, with its sovereignty derived from the people.
During the Iron Age, what is now Metropolitan France was inhabited by the Gauls, a Celtic people. The Gauls were conquered in 51 BC by the Roman Empire, which held Gaul until 486. The Gallo-Romans faced raids and migration from the Germanic Franks, who dominated the region for hundreds of years, eventually creating the medieval Kingdom of France. France emerged as a major European power in the Late Middle Ages, with its victory in the Hundred Years' War (1337 to 1453) strengthening French state-building and paving the way for a future centralized absolute monarchy. During the Renaissance, France experienced a vast cultural development and established the beginning of a global colonial empire. The 16th century was dominated by religious civil wars between Catholics and Protestants (Huguenots).

Metz in Lorraine, a video produced by Lorraine Tourisme and Prodaction. From the Temple Neuf or the train station built during the German annexation, by way of Saint Etienne Cathedral, the Porte des Allemands and the Renaissance and Middle Ages neighbourhoods, Metz offers more than 3000 years of history. But the capital of Lorraine is also very contemporary with its urban landscape and in particular the Centre Pompidou-Metz that presents several unique modern and contemporary art temporary exhibitions each year. Life is good in Metz with its gardens, the two rivers that cross the town (the Moselle and the Seille) and its large pedestrian-friendly centre. Metz is also a town with large-scale events: the Mirabelle Festival, the Christmas markets (2nd largest in France)… To visit Metz and...

In little over an hour from Trier, Germany, we arrived in Metz, just across the border into France. We spent a quiet Sunday exploring this quaint, historic city. Video filmed on my iPhone 6 and edited using Quik.
This is part 1 of the Metz video. Metz is the largest city and capital of the Lorraine and Moselle region. Metz changed ownership in the course of the centuries and this is visible in the architecture and design of the city. Although Metz is slightly influenced by the Art Nouveau style from Nancy as it was at the end of the 19th century and the early 20th century, Metz looks a lot more German than many other cities in Lorraine. It's all a little less frivolous and more robust. The train station of Metz is the best example. This station was built in the Neo-Romanesque style, and its high bell tower and its huge stained-glass windows makes it look more like an immense church than a train station. The cathedral in Metz is also very spectacular, and a must see! For more travel, visit our w...
May 2017 After Luxembourg we decided we had enough time to go visit Metz for a little bit. There wasn't much too see but the cathedral was absolutely amazing! Must see if you're in the area. Music By: Ukiyo - Home

Places to see in ( Metz - France ) Metz is a city in France’s northeastern Grand Est region, with gardens and leafy promenades along the Moselle and Seille rivers.

For more aerial drone shots of Genoa, please see Stefano McCoy's channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsgQjacVyrNWo5vSmjsdAzQ The gritty maze of the medieval city that makes up the core of Genoa is both beauty and the beast. The grandeur and heritage of this once great trading city lives side by side with modern vice and decrepitude. The odious smelling alleys give way to modern and chic restaurants and shops. Genoa is one of the most difficult of cities to describe and is very different from more generally travelled Italian cities like Rome, Florence or Venice. My Grandfathers WWII RAF flight record for those that might be interested - the campaign against Genoa looks to be one of his earlier flights: First Tour 25 June 1942 - Bremen (6.30) 29 July 1942 - Dusseldorf (3.00) 10 ...
We are on our way to Paris for the weekend and we stopped in Metz to explore the amazing cathedral and check out the multiple Christmas Markets!
My Traveling Socks went to Metz, France - a pretty little city in Alsace - in August of 2012. Saw many sights - the cathedrals, the town square, and even a festival with live music and great food.
