Verdun is a city in the Lorraine région and was the site of the Battle of Verdun in 1916 during WWI, one of the most costly battles of the War. There are many French and German cemeteries, being the French National Cemetery and Douaumont Ossuary the largest, with 13.000 crosses adorning the field. An impressive memorial among the many found on the battlefield, is the "Bayonet Trench", and nearby we found the World War I Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery and Memorial.
Located at the confluence of the Moselle and the Seille rivers, Metz is the capital of the Lorraine région. It has a large historical heritage, and you will find incredible buildings from different periods in the city. The Gothic cathedral St. Etienne, with its impressive stained glass windows designed by Marc Chagall, is definitely one of its main sights.
Nancy is a city in the Lorraine region, and its earliest signs of human settlement date back to 800 BC. The Place Stanislas is the town square, with the statue of Stanislas pointing to the North, and definitely a must see place. Don't miss the Musée des Beaux-Arts and the Musée Historique Lorrain. Since you are in the Lorraine
region, this would be a great time for you to eat a Quiche Lorraine
in its own home town, and for just 2€ you can enjoy a slice of this delicious specialty, buying it in any boulangerie or patisserie that you may come across.
