Really fantastic cycle path

Built between 1220 and 1522, it is the result of the merging of two separate churches. With its 42-meter-high nave, it is one of the largest Gothic buildings in Europe. Its 6,500 square meters of stained-glass windows have earned it the nickname "Lantern of the Lord." Created in the 16th and 18th centuries by Hermann von Münster, Thiébault de Lixheim, Valentin Bousch, Jacques Villon, and Marc Chagall, these masterpieces of fire and light are a true encyclopedia of glass art.

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.

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.

The Voie Bleue runs from the fortified town of Thionville, with its two lock bridges, true masterpieces of military architecture, along the port of Illange, the first river port for metallurgical products, passing by its industrial heritage and the former U4 blast furnace, one of the few buildings of the 20th century steel industry that is now a cultural and historical centre. Just before Metz, the cycle path crosses a beautiful wetland with idyllic ponds. Take the opportunity of your stay in the Lorraine capital to stroll through the old town: the Saint-Etienne Cathedral and the Pompidou-Metz Centre for Contemporary Art are two must-sees.
