Moselle tourist information
where to go - what to see - what to do
The Moselle borders two French departments, Germany, Luxembourg and is not far from the Belgian border.
Metz is the capital both of Moselle and Lorraine and is a main cultural and historic centre. Due to its strategic position, the Gallo-Roman city has been heavily fought - over passing from Germany in 1870 back to France in 1918.
There is something for everyone in Moselle. Lush, unspoiled, countryside the ideal backdrop for golf courses, cycle tracks and footpaths. Water sports enthusiasts can indulge themselves on one of the many canals, lakes or water sports centres.
Gothic churches, medieval passageways and Gallo-Roman remains will delight historians among you.
