Metz

Metz sprawls across the confluence of the Moselle and Seille rivers in Lorraine, creating a flat urban running base with the Foulée Des Hussards 30km as the anchor race through the city streets. Cyclists head south into gentle rolling terrain toward Pont-à-Mousson for the Metz Et Ses Belles Façades 60km route, or tackle longer randonnées like the Randonnée D'été (85km) through the rural Lorraine plateau around Merten, where elevation changes stay modest but sustained climbs break up the landscape.
