Mount Saint Pierre, also known as "Haut Saint Pierre" or "côte 325", is 30 minutes from Metz, near the town of Villers-Stoncourt. The name comes from the small chapel that is on the top of the hill, next to a small cemetery. In good weather you can enjoy a beautiful all-round view from here and look to the south-east as far as the Vosges (Donon).
