The weather was pretty lousy during our last few days in Niederbronn<\/a>, which was just as well as we needed to pack and clean the apartment before heading out.
\nOur next destination was the region of Lorraine, which has two important cities: Nancy, which we’d never visited before, and Metz, which we had. We spent two nights in each – not nearly enough.<\/p>\n

\"Nancy,<\/a>The heart of Nancy is the beautiful gold-and-black trimmed Place Stanislas, named for Stanislaw Leszczynski, the deposed Polish king who became Duke of Lorraine and created this royal square. Other points of interest are the Saint-Epvre Basilica, the Cath\u00e9drale Notre-Dame-de-l’Annonciation, numerous gardens, and various museums.<\/p>\n

We also visited nearby Toul and tasted the famous Gris de Toul, a type of ros\u00e9 wine found only in this area. We were very surprised at how much weaker Lorraine wine is than its neighboring Alsace’s – the food in the two regions is very similar, but the wine couldn’t be more different.<\/p>\n

\"Centre<\/a>Metz<\/a> has a reputation as a dirty, industrial city, but in fact it is very beautiful and full of flowers, and the cathedral is stunning. We’d already gotten a good taste of Metz during our visit in 2008; we went this time solely to visit the brand-new Pompidou museum (Centre Pompidou-Metz<\/a>), which I’d been dying to see since I first read about the construction plans about 7 years ago. I wasn’t disappointed – it’s an amazing building.<\/p>\n
