Surprisingly enough, just a 20 minute drive to the north can get you to another country from Metz! Luxembourg is just a stone's throw away, and definitely worth a visit. Besides that, the whole country can be seen in just a day! The capital, Luxembourg City, is just a great town built up on huge stone cliffs that drop to another city neighborhood below. Another great thing to see in Luxembourg is the castle in Vianden, about 25 mins north of Lux. City. It has been restored by the government and provides a great look into the medievil history in the area. It's also a stunning castle to see, also perched on cliffs above a small village.

My trip consisted of just visiting the historical cemetarys, museums, and viewing the battlefields...One monument is an entire French Battalion ( about 900 soldiers) who were killed in one battle in one of the defensive trenches..the site is memorialized and the rifles of the fallen soldiers are still visibly sticking out of the ground after all of these years..
