Metz enjoys a semi-continental climate, with warm summers around 25°C and cold, often grey winters, where temperatures hover near 0°C.

The month of December is also a must for its Christmas market, one of the most beautiful in France, while summer allows you to admire the "Constellations" light shows on the cathedral, built from the iconic golden Jaumont stone.
