Description
Discover the beauty of France’s Moselle region on a private day trip from Luxembourg. Visit Metz Cathedral nad Old Town, explore Sierck-les-Bains, and see the Schengen monument.
Begin your journey in Metz, a historic French city famous for its golden stone and impressive Saint-Stephen Cathedral, one of the finest Gothic cathedrals in Europe. After a guided interior visit, enjoy a short walk through Metz’s old town before stopping at the Centre Pompidou-Metz, known for its bold contemporary architecture (exterior visit).
Leaving the city, continue into the Moselle borderlands to Sierck-les-Bains, a charming medieval village dominated by a hilltop castle. Here the focus is on the village atmosphere, castle exterior, and panoramic views rather than museum interiors.
On the return to Luxembourg, stop in Schengen, the symbolic village where Europe’s open-border agreement was signed. Walk along the river, see the Schengen monument and EU pillars, and understand why this quiet place plays such an important role in European history.
This tour is designed to be smooth and enjoyable, with fewer but more meaningful stops — ideal for travelers who prefer quality over quantity.
