I'm Thaï, living in Metz and jeez I feel better here than in any other cities I've settled in throughout my roaming in the country. I hope you liked it as I do, I'm planning to open my own restaurant here and I hope it'll please the locals as much as the tourists. Thanks for your video!

Hello Trey, I’m happy that you and your family have enjoyed the visit of Metz (which , by the way, is pronounced “mess” as the t is silent). In Metz you have missed visiting the train station, its beautiful and imposing architecture of German influence. I’d like to know if you guys had the opportunity to taste the little yellow plums that you showed in the video. The mirabelle fruit is only harvested in this small region and people there are very proud of it. Wish you all the best.

@TreyDaze What you also need to know about Metz is the similarity to german culture(because of history( it was german at a certain point of time, like many german cities like Trier, Mainz or Koblenz were french back then)) in the Loraine-Alsaçe region...its one fact, which makes a difference in Metz, Nancy or Strasbourg, e.g. architecturialy, if you compare it with other french cities ;D

Trey, this cathedral is in the original Gothic style (ca. 1250-1500 AD). Gothic Revival (Neugotik in Germany) was - as the name suggests - a revival of the Gothic style in the 19th Century. It takes a bit of stylistic taste formation to differentiate them just from the looks. But the construction dates should give you a good handle to discern the two styles. (Some buildings are even mixed as they were started in the Gothic era and finished in the Gothic Revival era, like the Cologne Cathedral and many others.)

Metz is a beautiful city. On your way back, you are crossing through Alsace. There you should get some amazing wine and a "Flammekuche". Go a bit north towards Selestat and stop in Ebersheim for that treat. You sit in the backyard surrounded by grape vines and an oven like a pizza oven where they make the Flammekuche. It is a very thin "Pizza" style treat and you eat several of them. At the end, you have to order the sweet one which has thin sliced pineapple on it with some drips of alcohol which then gets lid up and burn for a second on the Flammekuche. The taste is out of this world. Enjoy and have fun.

If you have a chance also go to Nancy. My favorite city in France is Reims. When ever we travel to the Western part of France we stop in Reims for a night.

It's interesting to compare Metz and Nancy, Lorraine's two largest cities, geographically close to each other, but very different in style, for historical reasons. For centuries Metz has alternated between France and Germany, the influence of both countries show. Nancy on the other hand has never been German and as such is "Frenchier". But both are beautiful cities. And one good thing about Metz is that within an easy one-hour drive you can be in three other countries, Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany.

Trey, quick question for you. How much German do you use day to day? I am still a few years from making that move, but I am studying now to be prepared and comfortable with the language.
@TreyDaze2 жыл бұрын
I speak German everyday. I’m not fluent in it…but I can carry on a short conversation. You can definitely get by without speaking German, but you’ll definitely want to learn it while you’re here! And I know you will!

Metz - a beautiful oriental city. The cathedral is impressive and the square around it is nice too. It's also nice on the river but that's about it. I wasn't in the market. I don't know what they have against plaster or wall paint or paint in general. Shutters would also look nice if they aren't about to fall off, and the outdoor wiring is worrying. Certainly not without danger in the rain. This part of France is a mix of Morocco and East Germany. I'd rather go to Luxembourg, that's more French.

Thank you for reviewing my hometown that is always neglected by travel guides about France. One thing you should stop doing if you really like the city is mispronounce its name. The correct pronounciation is "MESS" like in "what a mess!" , not "mets." I can assure you that natives hate it when outsiders mispronounce their city's name, because it is so common, even by French natives. You get a pass as an American, so people would not mind as much, but please make an effort and learn the correct pronounciation and come back soon.
