Today’s itinerary included another shorter distance - from Metz to Nancy - so I could fully enjoy my first breakfast in France.

First, I drove into the city center of Metz, of course, there was nothing going on that early in the morning.

The route followed the Moselle and the side canal or the old river arms.

In Pont-à-Mousson, I took a coffee break at Café on Place Duroc (which has nothing to do with the pig breed of the same name). The sun even came out for a moment.

Shortly after that, the cyclist from Cologne, whom I had met yesterday, passed me and we rode together for a short while. 

Today I had enough time to explore the city of Nancy before heading to the hotel, especially the Place Stanislas.
