You should be careful when riding through the city center, because the smooth stone surface with small steps is not entirely safe for narrow racing bike tires.

Probably the smallest of the French Moselle metropolises. But alongside Metz, Nancy, and Épinal, Thionville also has a charm all its own. Its past as a bastion, or as a coal and steel mining region, is still clearly visible in many places.

🌾 **Étang du Tivoli – Nature Break near Volmerange-les-Mines (Wallingen)** The **Étang du Tivoli** is quietly located on the edge of **Volmerange-les-Mines** (German: **Wallingen**) – a small, natural pond surrounded by meadows, field paths, and sparsely scattered trees. 🐦 The spot is a popular stopover for walkers and cyclists, often visited by herons, ducks, and other waterfowl. A small bench invites you to rest with a view over the water. **Tip:** Ideal for a quiet break on a tour through the Lorraine border region – especially beautiful at sunrise or late evening light.

🧱 **Tour aux Puces** – Thionville's Oldest Building** The **Tour aux Puces** ("Powder Tower") is a medieval fortified tower dating back to the 11th century – and the oldest surviving building in the city. Originally part of a castle complex, it has served over time as a defense tower, a prison, and now houses a **City Museum** with an archaeological collection. 🏺 Inside, you'll find exhibits from Roman, medieval, and early modern periods – from ceramics to weapons to religious objects. The tower probably got its name from a mistranslation from German to French (“Powder Tower” became “Powder Tower”). **Tip:** The tower is cool and quiet – perfect on hot days. From the top, you have a small but excellent view over the old town. Combine it with the Belfry and the Église Saint-Maximin for a historical tour.

This emblematic 14-sided tower stands on a 2.5 to 3 m high circular foundation, in which many authors have suggested the remains of a Carolingian chapel. The tower is said to have actually been the keep of a castle built by the Counts of Luxembourg in the 16th century, corresponding to the size of the present castle courtyard. It served successively as a residence and last refuge in the event of an attack, as an armory, a prison, and finally, in 1905, as a museum.

The model locks, some of which are quite old, date from the development of the river landscapes for the purpose of economic networking. Thionville, as an industrial district, was important in and for Lorraine.

The lock bridge is only one of two bridges. The other is in a worse condition in comparison. Both had the function of controlling the frequent floods of the Moselle.
