Metz, a garrison town

Metz, the prefecture of Moselle, has a long military history. A garrison town since Roman times, annexed by Germany from 1871 to 1918 and then from 1940 to 1944, the city retains an exceptional military heritage: the Porte des Allemands, the forts of the Séré de Rivières system, and the imperial barracks in the station district.
