Gros Ouvrage Maginot du Hackenberg

Reviewed By MartijnDdorf - Ruhr Area, Germany

We enjoyed visiting the Ouvrage Hackenberg, dug into the Hackenberg hill. By taking the internal train to combat block 9 you understand how big this fortress is. Our guide Alain gave a passionate tour as his grandfather was a soldier at the Ouvrage during WW2. Seeing the turret in block 9 in action, from the in- and outside, was impressive. Be prepared that most guides only speak French and make sure to bring warm clothes, as the tour takes 2,5 hours and the inside temperature is 12 degrees C all year round.

Really enjoyed visiting this fort, we were taken round by an English speaking guide and a local Frenchman fully dressed in authentic French army uniform from WW2, who gave us an extremely and detailed history of the fort, so a very interesting visit.

Metz Cathedral

One of the tallest cathedrals in France, the 12th-century building is also known for its extensive use of stained-glass windows.

Reviewed By thomasozbun - Vicenza, Italy

Mostly built in the Gothic style between the 13th and 16th centuries it holds the largest expanse of stained glass in the world, most of which from famous artists throughout history such as Hermann von Munster from the 13th century and modernist Marc Chagall from the 20th. As soon as we entered, in fact, the interior was immense and amazing with a huge nave all decorated with stained glass. We also admired the sculpted extior too, built in the local yellow Jaumont Limestone.

La Cour d'Or

Collection of museums that reflect the wealth of art and history through the ages.

Reviewed By 252MarkS252 - Willunga, Australia

This is a great regional museum with a fantastic collection of Gallo-Roman materials. Some great mosaics. In the basement is a Roman bathhouse and there are some spectacular painted Medieval ceilings and beams. We were there for more than 2 hours. Highly recommended.

Musee de la Faience

The museum is housed in the former apartments of Paul de Geiger, director of the Sarreguemines faience works from 1871 to 1914. The museum, a memorial to the industry that made the city's reputation has rich collections of ceramics, bearing witness to the diversity of styles proposed by the faience works to cater for all the tastes and needs of its customers when it came to decoration and arts of the table. Faience, stoneware or porcelain, the full range of ceramic products is on display. And the most valuable piece in the museum's collections? Surely the entire decor of the winter garden,built in 1880 and listed as a historic monument. The museum also houses an archaeological section that recounts life in the territory during the Gallo-Roman period.

Citadelle de Bitche

Reviewed By Editor-at-large - Leamington Spa, United Kingdom

We didn't know what to expect of the Citadel, having gone on a bit of a whim on a wet day of what was mostly a walking holiday. We arrived mid-afternoon and thought we'd just walk round the ramparts and head home... when we saw it was a paid attraction we almost didn't bother... what a mistake that would have been! We also almost refused the headphones, but the man at the ticket office looked so disappointed and explained that we wouldn't be able to listen to the film soundtrack without them so we relented... and what a good thing we did. The siege of Bitche is an amazing part of French history - not one I knew anything about - but the way that the story is told by use of a film that plays on screens dotted around the underground tunnels and rooms of the citadel really does help bring it to life. I suspect it's much better on a quiet afternoon than it would be with loads of tourists or school kids. Frankly it's a must-see attraction of national importance and with an appropriate high quality interpretation. In better weather it would have been good to spend longer exploring the ramparts and the grounds.
