Cycling day trip from Metz to Perl

This ride takes you from the historic city of Metz to the charming border town of Perl, hugging the Moselle River for much of the journey. Metz is known for its stunning Gothic cathedral and lively riverside promenades—a perfect spot to stock up on pastries before you hit the road.

The 64-kilometer route is mostly paved, with a nice mix of cycle paths and quiet roads, keeping things relaxed and scenic. You’ll pass through idyllic countryside and vineyards, catching glimpses of old villages and the rolling hills of Lorraine. The route has some gentle climbs but nothing too daunting—just enough to make those river views even sweeter.

Your destination, Perl, sits right on the border of Germany, making it a fun place to grab a coffee with a cross-border vibe. Don’t forget to check out the Roman Villa Borg nearby or the picturesque Moselle valley bridges. This is a leisurely day out for anyone looking to soak up French scenery and end with a taste of Germany!
