For a stay of 2 to 4 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: urban destination and journey between two cities to organize. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. The main sites are generally easy to access.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place
Place Stanislas
The Place Stanislas Deploys its precision at the detour of the alleys: symmetry, details of the facades, movements of passers-by. The hours of opening in natural light reveal an urban relief more subtle than the view from far. A simple walk around the square suffices to change rhythm in the day.
Monument
Porte de la Craffe
The Porte de la Craffe It has a military force in its lines, but its true reading comes from the details of passage: angle, access, views to the adjacent streets. Slowly crossing it gives a concrete understanding of the defensive uses of yesterday and the uses of the day. Early morning, the approach is the clearest.
Historic house
Villa Majorelle
The Villa Majorelle imposes an Art Nouveau decoration through its materials and ornaments, readable especially by observing the frames and finishes. Its architecture becomes more convincing when you give yourself a break of a few minutes beyond the first sight. It's a place of visual intimacy more than of measurement.
Cathedral
Cathédrale de Metz
The cathedral of Metz reveals a striking depth: verticality of the nave, carved details, passing light. The outside passage only delivers half, the inside completes the understanding. An hour with razing light offers an ideal readability of materials and structure.
