レメニルのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Not accessible anymore unfortunately

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

Interesting facade and stone women on the roof ;-)

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.

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.

Built between 1786 and 1791, Pont-à-Mousson's town hall is a fine example of late 18th-century French architecture. The elegant façade, with its symmetrical layout and classical columns, was completed by sculptors Johann Joseph Söntgen and Joseph Labroise. The building stands on Place Duroc, the lively heart of the city, and together with the surrounding arcades, it provides a beautiful setting for a short break or a photo.

This hike is not possible (sept 2024), due to private property.

This is at the back of Chateau Mossoun
