Lorraine has an exciting variety of museums: art, history, memory, know-how... there's something for everyone! The Centre Pompidou-Metz houses a superb collection of modern and contemporary European art, highlighted by a veritable architectural masterpiece. If you're interested in history, check out the Musée Jeanne d'Arc in Vaucouleurs, in the Meuse, or the Mémorial de Verdun, both a museum and a memorial to the Battle of Verdun. Other museums in Lorraine are also well worth a visit, to give you a better understanding of the region's rich heritage. Whether you're interested in glass, earthenware or crystal, a visit to a museum is a great way to explore Lorraine's wealth of expertise!

Are you planning a city trip to Lorraine and looking for the perfect programme? A trip to a museum, a tasting of local specialities, a themed or exclusive guided tour- there's no limit to the ways you can experience this land of art and gastronomy. As a family, try a fun and unusual activity such as an escape game in the city or in a castle. On the outskirts of Metz and Nancy, in Meuse or the Vosges, treat yourself to an excursion to a Lorraine castle: medieval, Renaissance or classical, step back in time in Lorraine!

With its rich industrial heritage, Lorraine invites you to discover the emblematic sites that have forged its identity. A number of mining sites offer you the chance to immerse yourself in the daily lives of the "black faces" who went down into the bowels of the earth to dig for coal. In the heart of the Fensch valley, 20 minutes from Metz, the U4 blast furnace, the last of the Uckange steelworks, has become a cultural venue with a unique programme. Just below, an extraordinary garden has taken over the industrial wasteland, turning it into a place of workers' memories. A must-see!
