The map of Metz
At 49° north latitude in the Moselle valley, Metz has a street plan structured by the confluence of the Moselle and the Seille, which split into several arms creating islands at the city's heart. The German Imperial Quarter, with its wide grid-pattern avenues, contrasts with the medieval maze around the cathedral. Vauban's ramparts and the Moselle quays trace a map of distinctive contours.
