Located 7 km west of Metz, the archeological site of the village of Châtel-Saint-Germain, a 313-meter promontory, dominates the Montvaux valley. Hissé on a limestone spur, it alone brings together a wide variety of vestiges of many different eras. The visit takes place in three stages:

The first part houses the remnants of an area of Gaul-iie century.

The Merovingian necropolis (life-Seventeenth century) is the second wave of occupation. The originality of this incredible cemetery of nearly 374 graves is its very unusual location, juched 300 meters high! The various search campaigns attest to the richness of funeral furniture (sarcophagi, stone coffers).

In the twelfth century, the Benedictine of the Abbey Saint Vincent of Metz. The monastic life of the monastic life is reflected in the annex buildings (artisanal facilities, bread oven). Only the tower tower of the Priory Church (with its only window) still exists today. From the top of its 9 m, its Romanesque style gives the place a great medieval charm.

While the historic attraction of the site is undeniable, the beauty of its natural surroundings (between slopes, wood and clearing) also contributes to its tourist success.

Access: parking (first to left after the village church), start of the trail on the right on the route 30 m higher. Take 25 min of climb enough! Think of having good hiking shoes…
