Day 11

Trip to Metz, France

This morning we took the TGV (train à grande vitesse aka train at high speed) to visit the Alsace region of France, more specifically the city of Metz. Our first stop is the museum Pampidou, a museum located in Paris which has built this extension at Metz.




The museum is one of modern art.

My favorite Gallery: Gallery 3





The city from museum level 3
 Lunch was delicious


Entree: Quiche Lorraine
Plat: Onglet de Veau, Pommes roties au lard
Dessert: Tarte Mirabelle
The town of Metz (where poet Paul Verlaine was born.) The town really has that feel of an old, authentic European town

                                     













The cathedral Saint- Etienne. It's nicknamed God's lantern because it has the most stained-glass of any church in the world.
