Metz has served as a regional centre in Lorraine since Roman times. Set where the Moselle and Seille meet, the city combines a compact historic core with broad riverside spaces and the gardens of the Esplanade. Saint-Étienne Cathedral, built from the 13th to the 16th century, is renowned for its extensive stained glass, including windows by Marc Chagall. The Centre Pompidou-Metz adds exhibitions of modern and contemporary art, while the Imperial Quarter recalls the period of German rule after 1871.
