Around

Heritage, nature, and gastronomy

The region is full of treasures: modern art at the Centre Pompidou-Metz, Art Nouveau in Nancy, WWI memorial sites around Verdun, Lac de la Madine for a quiet nature getaway, and even a papier-mache museum right here in Pont-a-Mousson. And if you love hunting for antiques, just ask — I know all the best flea markets around.
