We continue our visit to Metz with Lionel, who takes us inside the Saint-Étienne Cathedral, famous for its huge stained glass windows. After that, if you don't feel like walking, you can take the little tourist train and enjoy the sites at a leisurely pace.

Lionel takes us to the historic part of the city of Metz and to the Galerie Saint-Jacques, where you can browse the shops and go to restaurants. The shopping mall is located on one of the largest squares of the city, the Place Saint-Jacques.

Lionel takes us to Metz, a city that was once part of Germany, being only some sixty kilometers from the German border. In this video you will learn a few facts about this Germanic city, and you will add a lot of useful terms to your going-about-town vocabulary.

Lionel takes us to the small town of Wissembourg (or "Weißenburg," since it's situated in Alsace where German is spoken as well). It boasts a beautiful church and a nice restaurant where Lionel goes to be "crowned." Another one of his signature jokes and puns await you in this video.

You can count on Lionel to give you a fun and thorough introduction to numbers in French! From counting the thirteen ducks on the lake to explaining how the higher numbers are constructed, Lionel will tell you all you need to know to become an expert at French numbers.

Fénétrange is a medieval town near the German border that was once the site of dungeons and witch hunts. But don't let that keep you from visiting: Lionel will be there to show you around this charming little village.

We conclude our visit to Marsal with a few comments from Michel, who shows us a stone marking the passage of a Roman emperor in Marsal in the first century AD. And Lionel has a few salty expressions in store for you...

Michel guides us back to the time of Louis XIV, who took the town of Marsal in 1663. Find out why.

We continue our visit to Marsal and learn more about the importance of salt throughout the region. Many there have benefited from the exploitation of salt throughout the centuries, including the Church, which built many churches that we still see today.

Did you know that parts of France and Germany were underwater millions of years ago? Learn more about this and other surprising facts at the Marsal Salt Museum.

Lionel, Michel, and Juliette take a stroll down the Rue des Capucins, named after the Capuchin monastery once located there. They also discuss some of Marsal's native plants, which have a high salt tolerance.

Lionel and Michel talk about the heyday of Marsal, which used to be a thriving city during the Vauban period thanks to the saltworks. Nowadays, though, it's a small tourist village. Find out how many visitors come to Marsal each year.

We continue our visit to Marsal inside the abbey church, where we learn more about the recumbent figures commemorating the owners of the local salt mines.

Still in the village of Marsal, we're going inside the collégiale, or abbey church, with Michel, Juliette, and Lionel. Juliette teaches us about the three gisants located inside the church.

The little village of Marsal is gearing up for the eight hundredth anniversary of the abbey church of Saint-Léger, featuring a concert by a world-renowned German pianist.
