Why sleep at Château de Morey rather than in the city? Our estate offers you the calm of the Lorraine countryside after your days of sightseeing. You avoid traffic and paid parking in the city center thanks to our free parking. In the morning, a hearty breakfast awaits with regional products: mirabelle plums, Commercy madeleines, homemade jams. Our team knows Metz inside out. They tell you the best times to photograph the cathedral without crowds, which temporary exhibitions at Centre Pompidou are worth seeing, and the restaurants where locals like to gather. Each room has its own character: vintage furniture, generous ceiling heights, views over the park or countryside. In the evening, you return to a château where silence reigns. No traffic noise, no neighbors. Just birdsong and the rustle of century-old tree leaves.

Saint-Étienne Cathedral in Metz truly deserves its nickname as the Lantern of God. With its 6,500 m² of stained glass, it has the largest glazed surface of any French cathedral.
