DAY TRIP NUMERO 2

Last weekend we decided to stay in the country and take a 1 1/2h trip to the city of Metz (also a city like Strasbourg that switched from German to French possession more than once). The city was submitted on the France's UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List. It has a lot of historical monuments including the Saint-Stephen of Metz cathedral which has the largest glass surface of all cathedrals and one of the highest's naves.

The train station is one of historical monuments. The hunt for monuments starts off well. We were however more distracted by the snow xD

We were delightfully joined by two Americans, Campbell (featured here) from Austin and CJ from Detroit.

 There's CJ in the back

A snow fall digne du Canada

WARNING I have no idea what these monuments are called so just enjoy the sites ;P

Not l'Arc de Triomphe 

So I was working on this post a couple weeks ago but wanted to look up the monuments' names. It ended up being difficult and I did not have time to come back to it. I finally decided to just post the pictures.
