At the top of the Butte de Mousson, where the castle of the Counts of Bar once stood, the Chapelle de Lumière has stood since 1961 – a modern chapel made of glass, metal and concrete, designed by architect Robert Parisot. It was built on the site of the old castral chapel, which was destroyed by American bombing in 1944. The chapel is conceived as a "lanterne des morts" – a beacon visible from afar at night, like a lighthouse of memory. The structure is pentagonal, with an open front overlooking the valley. Inside, an expressive statue of Christ in hammered copper, made by sculptor Bernard Mougin, dominates, attached to a cross of metal beams. The floor is laid in Euville stone, and the altar and ambon are carved from Comblanchien stone. The chapel has been recognised as "Architecture contemporaine remarquable" since 2015.

A nice place to stay if you want to visit Nancy and Metz

The name of the city says it all: Pont-à-Mousson was created around this bridge over the Moselle. Since the Middle Ages, it has connected the old town with the Mousson hill. The current bridge, rebuilt several times after floods and wars, offers a beautiful view of the abbey and the river. 📍 Tip: Take a moment to pause in the middle of the bridge – on the left the baroque abbey, on the right the lively Place Duroc.

This imposing 18th-century abbey is one of the finest examples of baroque monastic architecture in Lorraine. Once the headquarters of the Order of the Premonstratensians, the building now houses a cultural centre and a hotel. Situated on the banks of the Moselle, between Metz and Nancy, the abbey offers a unique mix of heritage, art and tranquillity. The gardens, monumental staircase and cloisters are open to the public and are an impressive stopover for any bike tour.
