Duroc Square

Highlight • Other

The square is named after Michel Duroc, a local-born student at the Pont-à-Mousson Royal Military School. There are many architectural buildings from the 16th to 20th centuries. In the center is a fountain commemorating the use of American volunteer ambulance drivers in eastern France from 1915 to 1917. The square is triangular in shape and is the largest group of Renaissance arcades in Lorraine. Cozy cafés and shops under arcades invite you to stroll and linger.

View of the Abbaye des Prémontrés

Highlight • Viewpoint

This imposing 18th-century abbey is one of the finest examples of baroque monastic architecture in Lorraine. Once the headquarters of the Order of the Premonstratensians, the building now houses a cultural centre and a hotel.
Situated on the banks of the Moselle, between Metz and Nancy, the abbey offers a unique mix of heritage, art and tranquillity. The gardens, monumental staircase and cloisters are open to the public and are an impressive stopover for any bike tour.
