Saarbrücken with its castle, the Ludwigskirche, St.Johanner Markt, St.Arnualer Stiftskirche and the Halberger Schloß (very good restaurant), as well as a Mitrastempel on the Halberg, are definitely worth seeing.

A late autumn tour to Café de la Marie, where we always drink our wheat beer. We now also have non-alcoholic products on offer. If you still want cake, you can buy it in the bakery next door. Bread too. Can then be eaten in the café with drinks that have been ordered.
Like to be there.
In summer, the …

June 4, 2022,04.06.22 sortie en vélo autour de Sarreguemines

This bike ride from Sarreguemines by the canal des houillères and back by the Smartville area and finally by the other side of the city was 👍.

I must admit this sun and the weather of this beautiful afternoon encouraged an outing.
