Surprisingly Charming & Affordable: Discover Metz, France

Video Description

Newsletter sign up here: https://fired-up-in-france-2.kit.com/dacaa289dd In this video, I explore Metz, France – a surprisingly affordable city in the Grand Est region that's often overlooked, but offers incredible value. I investigate its relatively stable real estate prices (averaging just €2,200-2,400 per square meter) and its proximity to Luxembourg's high-paying job market, where over 100,000 French workers commute for salaries that are higher than in France. I'll take you through Metz's impressive cultural offerings including the stunning Centre Pompidou-Metz and explore its practical side with the Le Met' public transit system and train connections that get you to Paris in 1 hour 25 minutes, examine the fascinating blend of French and German imperial architecture that gives the city its distinctive character, and experience the magic of opening weekend at the Christmas market there. Whether you're considering a move to France or just curious about this underrated gem, I'm sharing everything you need to know about daily life, walkability, and why Metz might just be the affordable French dream you've been looking for.
