LA VOIE BLEUE CYCLE ROUTE - THIONVILLE - METZ
Description
In Thionville, the Voie Bleue (Blue Way) escapes from this defensive city with its two lock bridges, true masterpieces of military engineering. The itinerary then reveals a more industrial heritage by following the port of Illange, the first river port for metallurgical products, then the former U4 blast furnace, one of the rare monuments of the 20th century steel industry transformed into a place of culture and heritage. On arriving in Metz, the cycle route passes through pleasant ponds and wetlands. Before resuming your cycling trip, take the time to wander through the historic city centre of Metz. The Saint-Etienne cathedral and the Centre Pompidou-Metz are two must-sees in the Lorraine capital.

PLACE DE LA COMÉDIE
Construction of the theatre began in 1738 but work was delayed by a number of problems (war, embezzlement etc.). The first theatrical performance only took place 14 years later. The development of the site was completed in 1759. Built from 1901 to 1904 in grey sandstone and in Romanesque Revival style in the grounds of the Garden of Love at the end of the Place de la Comedie, the Temple Neuf is reflected in the Moselle River and its medieval charm contrasts in a picturesque manner with the classical architecture of the Opera Theatre.
