🇫🇷 God's Stained Glass | A Day Trip to Metz in Grand Est

Starting a new series on weekend getaways near Strasbourg! Though I never ended up studying at Lorraine University (my planned exchange school 😅), I chose this charming town as my first stop. Rating: 3.5/5 🐧 Transport Strasbourg → Metz: TER regional train (round trip) Discount tip: With TGV Jeune, one-way fare drops to €24.40 Within Metz: All attractions are walkable 🐧 Must-See Spots 1️⃣ Metz Cathedral 2️⃣ Centre Pompidou-Metz (the avant-garde satellite branch) 3️⃣ Temple Neuf (iconic Protestant church by the river) 4️⃣ Porte des Allemands (German Gate) 5️⃣ Musée de La Cour d'Or + a random pretty park nearby 💡 If short on time? Just visit the cathedral! Home to the world’s largest stained-glass collection—it’ll ruin other churches for you (sorry, Luxembourg 😉). 🌟 Verdict Metz is immaculate and quintessentially European—a perfect weekend recharge spot. #FranceTravel #DayTrips #HiddenGems #Metz #StainedGlassMagic #SlowTravel
