Metz, Nancy, and Verdun, France 2012

Metz, Nancy, and Verdun, France 2012


In 2012, history department faculty took  students to France and Germany. In France, the group stayed first in Metz, a city that betrays both strong French and German influences. While there, we visited both Nancy and Verdun, the sight of the savage First World War battle.

The Metz train station, built by the Germans when Lorraine was part of the German Empire.
