France encore

---

Our annual trip to France, this time with my niece Emma tagging along. As usual nice and hot weather!
If you are visting the Lorraine region there are many things we recommend you do:
- Metz: beautiful town with a cathedral, quaint streets, cafes and shops
- Amneville: a leisure area west of Metz. We recommend the Thermapolis spa and Europe's largest zoo where the animals are really taken care of well, they have large areas to live in and they have really made an effort to make them feel at home. Many baby animals were born in the last year.
- The Bitche citadel is worth a visit and they usually have lovely gardens in summer.
If you are interested in archaeology there are several digs nearby that would be of interest.
Strasbourg is not far away, and the Vosges hills where you can walk, cycle, ski depending on season.
