The city center of Metz is impressive. It is definitely worth stopping here. You can really enjoy the French flair in one of the numerous cafés.

Porte des Allemands and Metz Cathedral

Highlight • Historical Site

Metz was (like many of his neighbors in the Alsace-Lorraine region) at the mercy of the border regions. Metz changed several times his affiliation between the German and French empires. Until 1918 it still belonged to the German Empire, which is still recognizable in many buildings in the city and leads to a diversity in architecture. The train station is the best example of German architecture. Metz therefore offers you a beautiful old town center, a gothic cathedral that ranks among the highest in Europe, long Mosel promenades overlooking the architectural features of the city, museums and much more.

Path along the banks of the Moselle

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Here you cycle far away from traffic directly along the banks of the Moselle. On one side of the bike path you can enjoy the picturesque view of the river, while on the other side wide fields extend - simply idyllic.

Metz really is a beautiful city to take your time for. The north of Lorraine is heavily industrialized and the Moselle is an important transport route. Accordingly, you drive a lot through industrial landscapes. The route is flat and easy to ride, so it is not difficult to make good progress.

This is the last stop before the German border and the transition to a new signpost. From Metz, the cycle path leads close to the water. Still there is the opportunity to enjoy France not only in terms of landscape, but also in terms of cuisine. The route passes close to churches and small castles. Some of them, such as …

Only a short stage today, because I'm not at all fit (due to long-term COVID). Although it's very pleasant at 28 degrees (10 degrees cooler than yesterday), I continue on the pretty and excellently maintained V50 cycle route, mostly on its own small road, along the Moselle or a side canal. Thionville is a charming little town on the Moselle.

Day 2
Today we went all the way to Metz. That was a lazy day, with only 44 km. But that's OK for once 😊 It's getting warmer every day, and drinking plenty of fluids is very important 🥤
