If you are visiting Metz, you must visit this 13th-15th century medieval square. The vaulted gallery and arches are spectacular and wandering among them take you back to past times. The alignment of the buildings surrounding the square corresponds to the original Roman ramparts which were used for the actual foundations. During medieval times, Place Saint Louis used to accomodate more than 60 changers under the arcades and also trade fairs and religious theatre plays.
