Explore Rodemack, the "Carcassonne of Lorraine"
Cayambe, CC BY 4.0
Located right on the borders of Luxembourg and Germany, Rodemack is a must-visit stop during your stay in Moselle.
Nicknamed the "Little Carcassonne of Lorraine," this fortified town is ranked among the "Most Beautiful Villages of France."
Immerse yourself in centuries of history as you explore its ramparts, ancient lanes, and military heritage.
Built in the 14th century, the fortified enclosure bears witness to the strategic role Rodemack played for so long.
Today, nearly 700 meters of ramparts standing 6 to 9 meters high still surround the village, along with six flanking towers.
Walk along the patrol path and enjoy the panoramic view of the garden and the village.
The Sierck Gate is one of Rodemack’s iconic landmarks.
Its arch was dismantled in 1944 to allow American tanks to pass through.
It was rebuilt exactly as it was in 1989, thanks in part to a sketch by Victor Hugo.
Built on the foundations of a 12th-century medieval castle, the citadel features pre-bastion Renaissance architecture.
Its history reflects Rodemack’s strategic position between Thionville and Luxembourg.
Continue your stroll through the narrow streets lined with historic houses, many dating back to the 18th century.
Finally, why not stop by the Place des Baillis to sample local products and Lorraine specialties (every Wednesday evening)?
At the foot of the ramparts, take a moment to visit the medieval garden.
Inspired by monastic gardens, it features a collection of medicinal and aromatic plants, vegetables, and a few flowers.
After exploring Rodemack, settle into a 4-star hotel in Metz.
This allows you to alternate between excursions to charming villages and discovering the heritage of Metz.
The Best Western Plus Hôtel Metz Technopole welcomes you right next to the Metz Technopole golf course.
Choose from our spacious, contemporary rooms and suites; some even offer views of the golf course or the pool.
When the weather is fine, you can enjoy the heated outdoor pool, reserved exclusively for hotel guests.
As for dining, the Le Green View restaurant offers contemporary, seasonal French "bistronomic" cuisine.
It is the perfect opportunity to sample some local products.
Our entire team looks forward to welcoming you!
