Departure from Gorze (Moselle)
A walk offering views of Gorze from various angles, including Gorzia, the statue of the Virgin of Saint-Blin, the cemetery, the Rocher de la Pucelle, Saint-Clément Chapel, the Altar of the Lepers, and Saint-Étienne Collegiate Church.
From the 1st century onwards, the springs of Gorze were harnessed by the Romans to supply Divodorum (now Metz) with water via an underground conduit and an aqueduct (one of the longest in Europe). Most of Gorze’s springs still supply the town.
