Stop-overs and city breaks
City of green
Winner of the National and European prizes for its floral displays, a 4-flower city, Metz is a town of nature and flowers.
With its 470 hectares of open space, you can take a long walk around Metz along the 37 km of uninterrupted pathways in the various gardens and parks, all year round.
Esplanade
The Esplanade, an immense 9,200 m² landscaped French garden is just the start of a circuit where you will see thousands of plants forming shapes and a maze. As a continuation of the Esplanade, the Boufflers Garden takes visitors to a stretch under linden and oak trees on the way to the Régates garden.
Régates Garden
Metz, 4-flower city, National
and European prizes for
floral contribution
This English-garden park stretches around the bottom of the ramparts of the old Citadel. Paths border the romantic Swan lake, where the summer nights set the stage for graceful light and music fountain shows.
From the Marina, take a "bateau" mini-cruise across the water or a pedal boat ride. Continue on your journey by walking or roller-skating along the paths near the Saint Symphorien lake.
Parc de la Seille
This park combines grass fields, terraces, paths and ponds where you can relax or play sports.
