Metz is a city in northeastern France, serving as the capital of the Moselle department within the Grand Est region. Situated at the confluence of the Moselle and Seille rivers, the city is built on relatively flat terrain at an elevation of 179 metres. Its economy and local institutions are anchored by its status as an administrative capital, the presence of the Metz-Nancy-Lorraine Airport, and several higher education institutions, including Georgia Tech Lorraine and Lorraine INP.
The city contains distinct urban areas and historic focal points, such as the Place du Marché de la Chèvre and the Place du Forum. Housing options are distributed across these central districts and the surrounding neighbourhoods, which sit within the wider commune.
