Auberge de la Klauss

Posted by LittleCheria 15 March 2008

A family-run restaurant specialising in meat and fine wine. The meat either comes from free range ducks, geese, pigs on the property, or is hunted in the surrounding forests.

Next door they have a shop with over 15,000 bottles of wine, plus produce from the Auberge (smoked ham, patés), as well as other local specialities. High quality food, beautiful traditional buildings, a great welcome.

Located in Montenach, near Sierck les Bains, near the border with Germany and Luxembourg. www.auberge-de-la-klauss.com

Auberge de Jeunesse

Posted by chris2005 7 October 2007

This youth hostel is widely regarded as one of the best in France. The shared rooms with bunk beds allow you to get to know other guests really well. The breakfast is good and the park around the hostel is good for recreational activities. Quiet despite the busy main road to the A31 motorway directly in front of the hostel.

1 allée de Metz Plage
Take bus no 3 or 11 from Metz train station and ask for the Pontiffroy stop.
The city centre is a 15 min walk away (pleasant once you get off the busy main road outside the hostel)
