Starting and finishing point for many mountain bike outings, the Saint-Clément cross is also a legendary place since Clément, coming from Rome, would have stopped there and kneeling in front of Metz, would have marked the rock with his knees. . He needed at least this strength to defeat the famous Dragon Graouilly, symbol of pre-Christian beliefs to be destroyed. If the dragon is dead, its legend lives on and is still alive in Metz today.
