Metz Cathedral, located in Metz which is between Paris and Strasbourg, is an extraordinary example of Gothic architecture. Its towering spires and intricate stained glass windows are truly impressive. Inside, the Rose Window is a highlight. This cathedral's historical and architectural significance makes it a captivating destination, offering a glimpse into the past. It's free to enter and you can buy and light candles inside. Highly recommended!

Stooped in history, this is one of the best cathedrals to see in France. By scale it's one of the largest, and the history (e.g. two churchs were combined inside the structure) is fascinating. It appeared tours were available at certain times, concerts also take place here at prescheduled times. The interior and exterior are both impressive sights. Entry is free, so come during non-service times and enjoy the views with respect.

The atmosphere. The sense of reverence for the work of the past generations. The awe it must have inspired in the local population in the centuries past. Walk around the exterior and observe the structure from several blocks away on each side to realize the full scale and impact.
