Transport
Distance between Metz and : Paris : 333 km - Luxembourg : 60 km - Germany : 60 km - Belgium : 80 km.
Metz has the advantage of having major communications links that reinforce its European vocation :
Motorway interchange : the A31 linking Northern Europe to the Mediterranean crosses the A4 which provides the link between the Atlantic and Eastern Europe.
Airport facilities : the airports of Metz/Nancy/Lorraine, Luxembourg and Saarbrucken International rail links to Germany, Luxembourg, Belgium and Italy and soon the European TGV-Est, whose 1st stretch will put Metz within 1,5 hours of Paris as well as making the interconnection with the German network much easier.
Waterways : the Moselle canal part is linked to the North Sea via the river Rhine. The city attracts Europeans from within a radius of 300 km, all less than half a day away, which represents a market of 75 million people with high purchasing power.
