Where to stay in Devant les Ponts
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Churches outnumber hotels here. Devant-les-Ponts gives the register the Église du Saint-Sacrement de Devant-les-Ponts, the église de la Sainte-Famille de Metz and the église Sainte-Croix du Ban-Saint-Martin, then fills the rest of its entry with school pitches, the Olympium and the gymnase Joba. Nothing on that list rents a room.
Visitors book in Metz and come out to the quarter for a match at the complexe Baron Dufour or a look at the churches, which takes an hour rather than a night.

About Devant les Ponts
What are the main landmarks in Devant les Ponts?
Sacred building leads. The Église du Saint-Sacrement de Devant-les-Ponts, the église de la Sainte-Famille de Metz and the église Sainte-Croix du Ban-Saint-Martin stand at the head of the entry, three churches recorded before anything else the quarter has. Then the halls.
The Olympium, the gymnase Joba, the gymnase de la Patrotte, the complexe Baron Dufour and the stade municipal de Plappeville run through the rest, with the terrain Transalec and the terrain de sports des Frières at the plain end of the list.
What is the history of Devant les Ponts?
The record gives no founding year. Names do the remembering instead, with the hôpital Felix Maréchal, the école primaire Paul Verlaine and the école Jean Moulin I et Ii each carrying a person into the everyday fabric of the quarter. A château appears only as a school name.
The école château Aumiot Ii and the complexe Baron Dufour put a château and a baron on the list, while the MJC Patrotte and the MJC des 4 Bornes take their names from la Patrotte and the 4 Bornes.
Where is Devant les Ponts?
Devant-les-Ponts runs out towards Plappeville and Ban-Saint-Martin, with la Patrotte and the 4 Bornes inside the same corner of Metz. Frières lies close.
