Today we drove to Nancy via Metz, pronounced Mess which is the capital of the Lorraine region.
It is a very pretty city, situated of on the river Moselle. Lots of the buildings date from the period when Metz was part of the German Reich. The German border is not far from here.
There is a fabulous looking gothic cathedral, inside is very dark and sombre but the stained glass windows are outstanding.
We took a small train around the city with an audio commentary in English to get a quick over view of the city.
