A week since we left Metz but we had no internet so hence no bloghing. Now we are back in touch with the world, still heading northwards, still on the Moselle River, now moored in Remich, Luxembourg.
So a brief recap on Metz. As nentioned before a gorgeous city, we made ourselves at home in the port, got going doing some maintenance some much needed painting, refitting of shelves and cupboards in the main kitchen dining area, curtains etc.
Metz has the charm of the Moselle River running around and through it, so the place made up of many islands so therefore bridges , all very cute.
Metz became French in 1648 but the Germans arrived back in 1871 stayed for 48 years ( might add a quarter of the inhabitants fled to nearby Nancy and surrounds) A lot of the impressive building date from thus time of German occupation.
Railway station
Covered markets, choice of fresh food sensational
Pompidou Centre. Had a number of wonderful hours here, great art, amazing building
bridges, churches, cuteness all round
Notre Dame
How many men does it take to put in a couple of wooden poles!? Labour must be cheap here.
