Winter Escape: Historic Metz & Playful Amnéville ❄️🚗

Just 3.5 hours from Paris, we chased the last winter snow for a perfect short getaway! 🎿 Amnéville Adventures 1️⃣ SnowWorld Amnéville (Indoor Skiing) €25/person for 4PM-8PM slot (book via Google Maps link) First-time skiers beware: Prepare for epic butt-falls! But the adrenaline rush is worth it ⛷️💥 2️⃣ Thermapolis Spa €18/2hrs – Basic indoor pools until... we discovered the OUTDOOR section! Soaking in hot springs under moonlit snowscapes = pure magic 🌕❄️ 3️⃣ Forest Park Walks Snow-dusted pines + crisp blue skies = nature’s antidepressant 🌲✨ (Check my video for fairytale visuals!) ⛪ Metz’s Timeless Charm 4️⃣ Metz Cathedral (1220-1380) Golden sandstone glowing in sunlight ☀️ Accidental highlight: Attending a pipe organ concert inside – hauntingly beautiful! 🎶 5️⃣ Musée de La Cour d’Or (Free!) Merovingian palace ruins + Gallo-Roman artifacts 🏛️ Smart numbered route (1hr tour) 6️⃣ Centre Pompidou-Metz (€14) Mixed review: Ground-floor exhibits intrigued us, but upper floors felt... too avant-garde? 🎨 7️⃣ Porte des Allemands Free medieval gate – great for moody photos (weather permitting) 📸 #RoadTripFrance #WinterTravel #SkiAndSpa #MetzDiaries
