You will fall in love with Lorraine, that’s for sure.
It is as though everything was hand-made by nature: the untouched countryside, rolling farmlands, the Moiselle rivers, masterful architecture in Meurthe, and mementos of war in Meuse – all luxuriously set up in a stage only Lorraine can present.

In Meurthe-et-Moselle, statues of Neptune on fountains combined with Baroque buildings, gilded iron gates and store windows adorned with beautifully crafted chocolates, all provide the impression that he has arrived to an architectural paradise of some kind. Tourists often remark that the elegant Place Stanislas looks like some place from a film, but they just could not be so sure which film.

Are you up for a romantic tryst with the city? Restaurants around Place Stanislas, together with the cool mood in the air as you dine al fresco, are sure recipes for extended hours of stay in this lovely square. Some start forgetting about the food once they get in. They get carried away then before they know it, they’re in for some afternoon love affair.

Witness the captivating simplicity of the town of Metz by visiting its main draws – the mesmerizing stained glass art in the lofty gothic St Etienne cathedral. Then get outside the cathedral, take the narrow wooden bridge to the island of Petit Saulcy and see the best views of the cathedral. You will also get a glimpse of the square of Place St-Louis and the façade of the oldest French theater.

Take a little hike in the mountain resort of Vosges. If you like life’s simple pleasures, like good food, nice walks, and relaxing afternoons, then Gérardmer Resort will be your heaven. You can also engage in water sports, if that hits your fancy. In wintertime, the slopes in Vosges turn into exciting ski adventure spots.
