The military antiques fair at Metz Expo
The Military Antiques Fair takes over the Metz Métropole Exhibition and Congress Centre (Metz Expo) every year, rue de la Grange aux Bois in Saint-Julien-lès-Metz. From 9 am to 4:30 pm, professional and amateur exhibitors offer a considerable selection of period military objects: regulation weapons, uniforms, helmets, medals, specialized books, postcards, figurines, and military toys.
A meeting place for history enthusiasts
This fair attracts collectors from all over the Grand Est region and beyond. The exhibitor fee is 25 euros per meter. Catering is available on site. The event is a must-attend for enthusiasts of military history and militaria.
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.
