8Metz Christmas Market: A Shimmering Northeastern Gem

The Metz Christmas Market stands out for its enormous light displays and festive installations scattered across multiple squares. The Ferris wheel at Place d’Armes offers a spectacular view of Saint-Stephen Cathedral, glowing against the winter sky.

Metz’s gourmet village is a dream for food lovers, offering gingerbread, truffles, artisanal jams, and hearty Lorraine specialties. Add an illuminated “Sentier des Lanternes” (Lantern Trail), and the city becomes a glowing wonderland you won’t forget.
