Getting to know the area better and fitting in
Communes welcome new arrivals at special, convivial events that provide an opportunity for exchanges between local councillors and new residents. Inspire Metz provides technical information and introductions at these events.
In addition to physical visits to town halls, the agency can also offer year-round events to promote the region's heritage and economy.
Guided tours and ideas for outings are organized by the Inspire Metz Tourist Office and offered to all interested parties.
