Centre Pompidou à Metz

My heart is torn between Nancy and Metz

A must-see pair during your holiday in Lorraine, Nancy and Metz have all the ingredients for a fantastic cultural weekend away. In Nancy, stroll through the Old Town, explore its famous ducal squares and discover its Art Nouveau architecture. As for Metz, the “garden city” takes you from Gallo Roman remains to 18th-century squares, not forgetting the famous Centre Pompidou-Metz, a masterpiece of contemporary art in striking contrast to the flamboyant Gothic cathedral.

One was voted “Best large city for biodiversity” while the other has won “Best town in France” multiple times. These complementary cities make for an unforgettable city break!
