The Moselle,
attractive and dynamic

Moselle knows how to put on events: from the major exhibitions at the Centre Pompidou-Metz and the Château de Malbrouck, to the famous Moselle Christmas experience, not forgetting live sporting events (Moselle Open, FC Metz, Metz Handball, etc.).

This is a cultural and therefore sporting area (187,000 licence holders committed to the 2024 Olympic Games), with numerous entertainment venues and leisure activities (Amnéville Zoo, Le Galaxie concert hall, Center Parcs and SnowWorld, etc.).

Metz, an ideal city offering a good quality of life, perfectly epitomises this dynamic. It has just joined the ranks of the 5 most appealing French cities based on a resident survey (ranking based on the 4th city appeal survey conducted by HelloWork).
