Extraordinary views of valleys and mountains from the road, which was built during WWI to facilitate French military movements. This was the border between Germany and France from 1871 until the end of WWI. The route goes from about 3000 feet to over 4000 feet, and there are several restaurants on the way, with great views. Also very popular with hikers.

The only thing left from this tiny village is its streetplan now converted to paths among littele signs pointing out the location of the buildings. The rest is completely obliterated, a very sobering experience.

One of the tallest cathedrals in France, the 12th-century building is also known for its extensive use of stained-glass windows.
Reviewed By thomasozbun - Vicenza, Italy
Mostly built in the Gothic style between the 13th and 16th centuries it holds the largest expanse of stained glass in the world, most of which from famous artists throughout history such as Hermann von Munster from the 13th century and modernist Marc Chagall from the 20th. As soon as we entered, in fact, the interior was immense and amazing with a huge nave all decorated with stained glass. We also admired the sculpted extior too, built in the local yellow Jaumont Limestone.

Very nice architecture, this station is one of the nicest in France or in Lorraine; nice sculptures and a Germanic style; the station is near the nice Pompidou Museum.

We didn't know what to expect of the Citadel, having gone on a bit of a whim on a wet day of what was mostly a walking holiday. We arrived mid-afternoon and thought we'd just walk round the ramparts and head home... when we saw it was a paid attraction we almost didn't bother... what a mistake that would have been! We also almost refused the headphones, but the man at the ticket office looked so disappointed and explained that we wouldn't be able to listen to the film soundtrack without them so we relented... and what a good thing we did. The siege of Bitche is an amazing part of French history - not one I knew anything about - but the way that the story is told by use of a film that plays on screens dotted around the underground tunnels and rooms of the citadel really does help bring it to life. I suspect it's much better on a quiet afternoon than it would be with loads of tourists or school kids. Frankly it's a must-see attraction of national importance and with an appropriate high quality interpretation. In better weather it would have been good to spend longer exploring the ramparts and the grounds.

Reviewed By JGADV - Zonhoven, Belgium
Very serene place to visit, full of history. This place houses over 10.000 graves of soldiers that died in the region during World War 2, there is a chapel and visitor center, toilets and parking, take into account that toilets, visitor center and chapel are closed during Covid19 measures but the grounds remain open although you better check before you go, due to lockdowns in France. Do not shout or make loud noises and facemask is now recommended.
