On Sunday 19 April 2026, a busy day between Forbach and Metz.
The Marienau spring market
In the morning, off to the Marienau community hall in Forbach for the spring craft market, including axe throwing with Hache Lor.
FC Metz vs Paris FC, the Horda Frenetik tifo
Then on to Saint-Symphorien: even that day, the buses were packed with fans going to see FC Metz. Arrival in what I call the most beautiful place in France, then the Horda Frenetik tifo before FC Metz vs Paris FC. And a few anecdotes: the residents of the tower next door who can see part of the match from home, and the stadium stairs, not always very reassuring.
A high-end bakery delivering across France
And for dessert, the end of my series on Pâtisserie by Rihem, a high-end patisserie in Rouen that delivers all over France. Unpaid partnership: I only post places I’ve enjoyed.
