サンマルセル周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

An interesting site, especially thanks to the various information panels. The climb through the woods (more pleasant than the road, which is closed to traffic anyway) is enjoyable. However, it might seem a bit steep for those who aren't in good shape. There's a beautiful viewpoint at the top, and numerous trails allow you to extend the walk. The starting car park fills up quite quickly, but it's perfectly possible to park in the village, which is what we did. A sunny day is definitely preferable!

A very nice place surrounded by nice singles.

Each of these crosses that the biker encounters in the villages or in the fields is a sign of remembrance of the crucifixion, but also of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. "Here on earth there is His memory, but in the kingdom of heaven there is His presence: this presence is the joy of those who have already reached salvation. The memory is our consolation, as we are still wanderers, traveling towards our homeland." (Bernard of Clairvaux)

In the chapel opposite the museum is the tomb of Robert Schuman, one of the European fathers 🇪🇺

Beautiful Roman aqueduct on the edge of the cycle path towards Metz.

The aqueduct connecting Gorze to Metz is a Roman aqueduct built at the beginning of the second century. Divodurum (Metz) is the capital of the Mediomatris, at the crossroads of the south-north and east-west axes, i.e. on the Roman roads from Lyon to Trier and from Reims to Strasbourg. The city, which had about 20,000 inhabitants in the second century, needed a supply of spring water to supply the fountains, the three Roman baths, the public latrines and the craftsmen. The exact distribution points are not known because no trace remains (Wikipedia).

Robert Schuman's house in Scy-Chazelles is the former home of Robert Schuman, one of the founding fathers of the European Community, who lived there from 1926 until his death in 1963. You can discover his house, transformed into a museum, and its gardens, which bear witness to his passion for botany.
