If you really want to experience the best of Metz, it is recommended to get yourself down to the riverbanks. This wonderful park tracks the banks of the River Moselle from the old town to the south, and is without a doubt one of the finest places to spend a summer afternoon. Full of wild animals, lakes, ponds, fountains, flowerbeds and walkways, this oasis of tranquillity is sheltered from the modern world by a series of mature trees.
