Metz is a hidden gem since most visitors to France aim for Paris and France’s other large cities like Nice, Bordeaux, Lyon, and Marseille.

I like admiring the Moselle river and exploring the soaring medieval cathedral of Saint Etienne. It boasts one of the highest naves and the longest expanse of stained glass windows in Europe.
It’s such a liveable city with its moderate size, beautiful architectural history, green spaces, river walks, shopping, dining, and art museums. That’s why it deserves a longer stay and it will always remain a bright gem of Eastern France.
