Tourist destination
IN a few words
3 000 years of history have built a deep character in the city of Metz whose exceptional heritage is remarkably preserved in a green environment at the confluence of the Moselle and Seille rivers. The natural light and honey color of many buildings are due to the Jaumont stone.
Metz and the Imperial area
Metz has accumulated an incredible architectural and urban heritage over time. Under the label "Royal and imperial Metz", the application aims at recognizing the unusual urban adventure that took place in the Messin city from the second half of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, before, during and after the German annexation.Created on January 1, 2002, the Eurométropole Metz Community now counts 230,000 inhabitants and 45 municipalities around its city center.
Eurométropole Metz draws its identity and energy from these boundaries providing the area with its unique history. It is no coincidence that in 1950 in Scy-Chazelles, Robert Schuman gained inspiration for the Franco-German reconciliation on the slopes of the Messin country...
Eurométropole Metz also stands for a territory in full revival that turns the epic page of its military history. It is today an art of living that reveals itself: artistic enthusiasm and great cultural mixing in the wake of the Pompidou-Metz Center, art of living and gastronomy with the Moselle mirabelle and PDO wines, ubiquity of water and of the forest offering vast breathing spaces to a human-scale area.
Metz, City of Art and History
On November 18, 2011, the City of Metz was awarded the "Art and History City" label by the National Council of Cities and Countries of Art and History. The awarding of this label allows Metz to move from a stage of preservation and restoration of its built heritage to the enhancement and animation of the heritage in its broadest acceptance. Recognized at the national stage, the City of Metz is committed to developing a high-quality cultural and tourism policy based on heritage in conjunction with cultural facilities and public, private and associative partners.
Metz classified as a tourist resort
The tourist vocation of Metz is confirmed: by a decree dated February 24, 2015, Metz has just been awarded a tourism resort status, a label of excellence awarded by the State Secretariat for the promotion of tourism for a period of 12 years.
Creative Metz
Metz was designated UNESCO city of Music in 2019. It was the first French city to join the 30 other cities worldwide to obtain the label in this category.
