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.

Relics from the coal and steel era in the region. The former steelworks in Uckange can be visited.

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.

🧱 **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.

🏰 Thionville – A Border Town with History on the Moselle Thionville (German: Diedenhofen) is located in northeastern France, not far from the borders with Germany and Luxembourg. The city looks back on a turbulent past – between the Romans, the Lorrainers, the Prussians, and the French. Numerous buildings still bear witness to this turbulent history: the medieval fortress, the Tour aux Puces (a former keep, now a museum), and the neoclassical buildings in the city center. 🚶♂️ Thionville is a starting point for exploring the Moselle Valley, visiting castles like the Château de Malbrouck, or natural sites like the Stromberg with its caves and rock formations. 🛤️ Due to its location on the Moselle River and its proximity to Luxembourg, Thionville is also an important transportation hub today – but as soon as you leave the city, you're immersed in a tranquil, green landscape full of cultural and historical discoveries.

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.
