MOSELLE, a great place to live

With 3,000 years of history behind it, Metz offers visitors the dazzling charms of a historic town. Just take a look at the golden Jaumont stone, the many parks and gardens and the tranquillity of its pedestrian precincts – all this makes it a friendly, lively city.
Further north, Amnéville-les-Thermes and its numerous leisure amenities (Thermapolis spa, indoor ski run, zoo, casino, golf course etc.) make the entire valley a great place for recreation.

Then, of course there is the WALIGATOR Park, one of the largest theme parks in France attracting more than 400,000 visitors.

Moselle is ideal country for walking and hiking. With 2,000 kilometres of footpaths, Moselle boasts top-quality routes for walkers, cyclists, boaties or riders, starting from a gîte, a hotel or a campsite.

The Saarbourg area in the foothills of the Vosges is a densely-wooded region with plenty of flora and fauna to delight walkers in search of open spaces and fresh air. Dabo, Langatte and Abreschviller all reflect Mother Nature’s simple pleasures and the same enjoyment can be found in the inns and restaurants serving hearty local fare.

The Three Borders Area is a land of contrasts centring on the Moselle river, which forms the link between France, Germany and Luxembourg. Here you can find Rodemack, one of France’s most beautiful villages, Malbrouck Castle and Sierck-les-Bains, seat of the Dukes of Lorraine. Then there is the meandering river, the gently rolling hillsides and the slightly tart freshness of the white wines produced in Moselle’s vineyards.

LE DOMAINE DU BOIS DES ARCHOLINS: a new CENTER PARC in Moselle 

This new estate is outstanding for its sheer size and for the care with which it has been integrated into the forest. It covers an area of 650 hectares, including 3 hectares of lakes. But wood is the main feature here and it is omnipresent. It provides not only the natural environment but also the building material for the 870 cottages, the amenities and the infrastructures as well as being an essential component of the nature-based leisure activities offered by Center Parcs.
