Metz
Metz combines a walkable historic centre with Saint-Étienne Cathedral's stained glass. Its layered French and German history makes the shift between old streets and later architecture especially revealing.
Go for Saint-Étienne Cathedral's stained glass, then explore the pedestrian centre rather than treating the cathedral as a single stop. Metz's position near the French, German and Luxembourg borders gave it a history of changing political and cultural influences. Contemporary art venues offer another chapter, but they need their own visit time.
