The abbey is well worth a visit. I would recommend spending the night in this unique setting.

An overnight stay at the abbey is worthwhile, as you sleep in a truly unique setting. We chose the location because it's ideally located for cycling tours along the Moselle to Metz and Nancy.

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 stop on any bike tour.

🏰 Pont-à-Mousson – City of bridges, books and baroque Located on the Moselle, between Metz and Nancy, Pont-à-Mousson is a city with deep roots. It was founded around a medieval bridge and became an intellectual centre thanks to the creation of the University of Lorraine in the 16th century. The city has been hit by wars several times, but has always risen again. Today, you can admire the baroque abbey of the Prémontrés, the lively Place Duroc with its Renaissance houses, and Gothic churches such as Saint-Martin and Saint-Laurent. Pont-à-Mousson is also known for its industrial heritage – it is the world centre for cast iron pipes – and for its cultural festivals such as the Mousson d’Été.

Gothic with a story. Behind the austere façade of this church lies a rich history. Built from the 13th century onwards by the Antonists, an order dedicated to caring for the sick, it was originally the church of a hospital. The architecture is a rare mix of Gothic Rayonnant and Flamboyant, with a unique façade designed by Jacquemin de Lenoncourt, who later also designed Toul Cathedral. In 1574, the church was handed over to the Jesuits, who transformed it into the university church of the newly founded Université de Pont-à-Mousson. In 1840, the church was one of the first buildings in France to be classified as a Monument Historique. Today, it remains a silent witness to religious, intellectual and architectural history – and a haven of peace in the heart of the city.

If you are looking for accommodation in Pont a Mousson, you should take a look at the hotel in the former abbey (Abbaye). It is not cheap, but the atmosphere is worth seeing. And the breakfast is a good basis for a long bike ride.

Memorial to the bloody Battles of Bois-le-Prêtre during the First World War. Initially a simple wooden cross which marked the highest point of the forest massif at 372 meters above sea level, a strategic point, it returned to its place of origin shortly after the war and was enshrined in the stone monument commemorating this battle which was inaugurated on September 23, 1923 by Raymond Poincaré.
