Exploring Metz
“This is incredible! I can’t believe we get to live here for 4 months! Get your camera!”
Our dialogue sounded like something straight from a travel movie as we got off the bus and stepped foot in the city of Metz. If we didn’t look like tourists before, we certainly did then. Metz is breathtaking. Cobblestone roads, boulangeries, cathedrals… everything I imagined and more. I want to spend as much time in this city as possible, and since I don’t have class on Mondays or Wednesdays, luckily I’ll have the chance to do so. I’m planning on walking downtown whenever I have a day off and spending the day walking around and reading in what are soon to become my favorite cafes.
Cathedrale Saint Etienne.
Incredible stained glass windows. It was impossible to get a photograph to do it justice.
The light through the windows painted a rainbow of beautiful colors on the cathedral walls.
Hotel de Ville - the city hall.
Typical boulevard in Metz. Note the cobblestone and asymmetric layout.
Homes along the river.
The river is filled with these beautiful swans.
Porte des Allemands - the 13th century city gate, facing Germany.
