Lorraine Seille as a right tributary of the Moselle, confluence with the Moselle near Metz

already an imposing fortress

The Porte des Allemands is a genuine, small, independent fortress and highly symbolic of the city. It owes its name to the Teutonic Knights, or Hospitaller Brothers of Notre Dame des Allemands, who founded a hospital nearby as early as the 13th century. It is the most imposing structure remaining from the medieval city walls, serving as both a double gate and a bridge over the Seille River. The circular walking route along the city walls begins at the Porte des Allemands, allowing visitors to explore the remnants of Metz's fortifications.

just over the next mountain 😉

pleasant walk in the heart of the city

Mey is a small, unpretentious village to the north of the Metz conurbation. In the region, many associate the town with the great Fort Champgane which lies to the north, buried in a forest which has reclaimed its rights over painful warlike memories.

Fort Champagne is a military structure built shortly before the First World War. Today abandoned, the fort has undergone the twists and turns of history, regularly switching between German and French regimes.

The tower is part of the medieval ramparts of Metz and allowed the defense of the bridge Les Grilles de la Basse-Seille and was included in the list of historic monuments in 1932, along with the part of the ramparts that leads from the tower to the Camoufle tower. There is a huge hole in the tower.
