Day trip to the Metz Christmas markets for your group: chalets on Place Saint-Louis and Place de la République, Saint-Étienne Cathedral and the Lantern Trail.

From late November to late December, Metz sets up several Christmas markets linked by illuminated streets: Place Saint-Louis and its medieval arcades, Place de la République, Place Saint-Jacques and Place de Chambre. Your group also discovers Saint-Étienne Cathedral, nicknamed “the Good Lord's lantern” for its huge stained-glass windows, some of them by Marc Chagall. The Lantern Trail (Sentier des Lanternes), a magical illuminated walk, delights young and old alike. As for treats: mulled wine, gingerbread, quiche lorraine and mirabelle plum sweets.
