When to go to Metz?
Chagall's windows throw blue and red across the floor of St Stephen's cathedral, where the walls seem more glass than stone. At the other end of the centre, the Centre Pompidou-Metz spreads a woven white roof over its galleries, and the imperial quarter lines its avenues with heavy stone façades. Under the medieval arcades of Place Saint-Louis, the cafés take over.
