Also striking about the square are the arcades on the ground floor, which have existed since the Middle Ages. This creates a gallery that lines the square on both sides. Within these, various catering establishments and shops are still located today. Source and further information here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Place_Saint-Louis_(Metz)

Of the original 17 city gates, only the German Gate in the east remains. Named after the former hospital of the Teutonic Order, which stood nearby, it was built as an entrance to the city on a bridge over the Seuille River. A medieval structure straight out of a picture book.

Former water tower used to supply steam locomotives in the adjacent main station. Future use is still being planned.

The Middle Bridge, originally called the Middle Pont des Morts, and the Pont des Morts (Bridge of the Dead), an extension of the former, owe their names to their construction: they were financed by the Saint-Nicolas Hospital, which sold the best garment from a deceased resident of Metz. The Middle Bridge was once fortified. Walking along the banks of the Moselle, you can still see the opening from which the gate was lowered to block access to the city from the river.

Always worth a bike tour! In the old town area, however, you should keep an eye on the ground. The cobblestones are very rough in places and have deep, wide cracks.
