Exploring the French city of Metz 🇫🇷

Exploring the French city of Metz 🇫🇷

This is the view from our Couchsurfing host’s house. He actually has two places here. One is below us and then one is up with us. It’s Kassandra and I in this room and then in the other room is Benoît from Antwerp, Belgium.

So we have about an hour left to go and then we’re going to meet up in front of the indoor market. It’s like a really cool market that they have here. I guess it’s every day, but on Saturday, they open up in the mornings

And they have, like, apparently, the best croissant in Metz. So we’re all going to meet up over there and check it out. Yesterday, I had a bad kebab and felt pretty upset in the stomach. And so I didn’t really film that much.

But we went out to, like, a couple pubs, a couple of Emile, our host, a couple of his favorite bars and, like, it was a good time but I literally only had tea and so I really didn’t drink anything and then like as soon as we got back to the place,

I felt fine again and I was like, okay, now I’m ready to have a beer or something. But we’re all… But everyone was going to sleep, so… Today, hopefully, I can film a bit more.

Kassandra and I are going to explore the city for a bit after we meet up with everyone and get a croissant. And then we’re meeting up with our other Couchsurfing host at like 7 p.m. or something. Definitely the main goal today is to go inside this church right here.

I was already in it six or seven years ago, but it’s such a magnificent church. I want to see it again. You know what I mean? She’s hung over. She drank last night. This is, like, the closest thing I’ve ever like… You know?

– The closest thing you ever felt to a hangover? – Yeah but that water… – …that you gave me. – Yeah, that water tasted so bad. – I need to puke still. – That was tap water.

– It was like– I don’t think we should have been drinking that. – It’s an old building, so maybe the pipes are… It tasted like olive oil. It was disgusting. I could still taste it right now. I still might need to throw up. I need real water. But it’s 9 a.m. right now.

We’re going to meet up with Benoît and Emile at 10:00 a.m. outside of that market. So I think we should go check out the church while we have some time. That’s a good way to kill that hour. – All right, you ready? – I’m ready.

– Let’s go explore the church. – Okay, let’s go. Or the cathedral, I should say. Before we leave, I want to show you the view from the other side of the apartment. It’s so beautiful, right? My host has an awesome place. These are some cool paintings. Did you notice these before?

– Yeah. – Oh. Show them the lights. The lights? Oh, yeah. Kassandra really likes these rope lights. Look, it’s a big ticket from Paris to Mexico. All right, you ready to go explore for an hour and then go get the best croissant ever in Metz?

– No? – I don’t want a croissant anymore. – I want water. – Yeah, you do. You always want a croissant. I literally have no idea how this door works. – Simple…SImple enough. – Simple. After you, my darlin’. Oh, my gosh. I thought I saw a person. There’s a light.

Here’s Paris. Just kidding. – Here is Metz. – Here’s Metz. Oh, there’s like no one here. It’s awesome. Come explore the cathedral with us. We’re going to walk there right now. Well, first we have to get her a water. Okay, this is where the outdoor market takes place.

So we’ll meet back here at ten. It’s… No… Oh, an outdoor market? – It’s 8:38 a.m. – I thought this one was… No, it’s an indoor market is what I meant. – Did I say outdoor? – Yeah, you said outdoor.

Well, I meant, this is the outside of the indoor market that we’re going to meet at. – Yeah. – Is what I meant to say. – Look at those two birds kissing. – Oh, that’s adorable. So this is where the outdoor market…

Dang it. I keep saying it. …the indoor market will take place. So we’ll be back here in about an hour. And then look at this. Just like that, we’re here. All right, let’s go get you water and then we’ll go to the cathedral.

The only thing that could cure Kassandra is shopping for something. – She was looking at clothes. – I completely forgot but now I really want one. – Really want clothes? – I really forgot. No, now I really want water now that I remembered.

I turn around and she’s just like looking at clothes like, “Should I buy this?” Look at this market. Right in front of the cathedral. So cool. All right. I think they sell water over here. I don’t see water in there. Might be inside here maybe. Want to check?

I mean, I guess we’re just going to head inside the indoor market and… hope they have some waters. No, I don’t want to go in. – I can just imagine all the food. – I know. There’s meat and stuff. So that’ll probably make you more sick.

– Do you want to look on your maps and find one? – Yeah. Okay, that might be the easier approach here. Oh, the Carrefour. I haven’t been there in a long time. – You’ve been there? – Yeah, I’ve been to Carrefour. That’s a popular supermarket. Let’s go. Where is it?

It opens at 9 a.m. That’s 17 minutes. It’s 0.2 miles away. It takes 4 minutes to walk there and it opens at 9 a.m. So let’s not go yet. Or we can still go and just sightsee. Another view of this.

Look at these two, like, angels sitting on top of the… Near the Subway. Oh, they’re not even angels. They’re just babies with straw behind them or whatever. – Subway might sell water. – Oh, yeah. Let’s go, let’s go. – You want to go? – Oh, I think they open at 10.

Oh. Yeah, they don’t look open. They open at 8:30 a.m. Oh, my gosh. – I can eat this. – You want to eat it? Food will probably help you. Yeah, I think I should eat food even though I don’t want food. – Okay, get something. – Okay.

I don’t think the ‘beaucoup’ was necessary. It wasn’t a big deal. Just kidding. She’s making fun of me because I said ‘merci beaucoup’. We ended up just getting the water because that’s, like, pretty necessary right now. But the sandwich, I feel like, is really American.

Like we should not be… We should be getting, like, French food. Yeah but I don’t know if I can eat anything. But a Subway? Could you eat Subway? – Because it’s vegetables. I just want vegetables. – I mean, I guess at this point, just eat whatever you can. I know, huh?

I want to see the cathedral before we meet up with the others. Drink the water. You haven’t even drank it yet. – I can’t open it. – Oh, here. I’ll open it for you. You’re the worst. Look at the Easter decorations. Easter’s in the air. Oh, yeah. It’s Easter weekend. Easter’s tomorrow.

Yeah. – Happy Easter from France. – He said things close tomorrow, too. – Things close tomorrow? – Yeah. Well, good thing we’ll be on our way to Paris. All right, we’re back at the market now. I love visiting markets around the world.

Like one of the best things about traveling, besides the people and the food, is visiting markets and seeing how everyone get together. Well, it still looks closed. Let me go see if I can find out when it opens. Okay. It actually is open so… Wow. Just incredible.

You still feel bad? – I still feel bad. – Oh, I’m sorry. We’re going to go get her a Subway. We feel super American going to Subway, but it’s like the only thing she can get down at the moment, I feel like.

– Yeah, I don’t want anything like… – Pastry or like buttery. Okay, yeah. Sorry, sorry, sorry. So we’re going to go to go get her the Subway and hopefully she feels better after that. I know when I’m hungover, I always feel a lot better with food.

– So let’s go get that for you. – Yeah. So Subway is open for, I guess, coffee and stuff, but they’re not selling sandwiches right now. – She didn’t let me. – You want to tell them or should I? You tell them. You start off.

So we go inside and she’s like, “I’m gonna get a sandwich.” But then she, like, rushes to the bathroom. Like I kind of yelled at her, I’m like, “You want me to order you a sandwich?” And as soon as I turn around, she opens the door to the bathroom

And then just pukes all inside the bathroom. – Luckily… – No, no, no, no, no. That’s what I saw. That’s my perspective. So first of all, there’s nothing in me because I’ve tried to puke already because… But I can’t, like… You know? It has nothing. Like, I have nothing in me.

And I think that’s why I feel so shitty because I’m, like, dehydrated. But then I drink water. There’s all these smells. Do you get them? Yeah, it’s awesome. – No, it’s not. – It’s not awesome when you’re hungover. – It just smells like fried stuff here. – Yeah.

Since we went to a grocery store and everything, I’ve been smelling it, so anyways, It just made me feel more nauseous. So I was, like, okay, let’s go into the Subway. Because I can at least like… that smells just like bread or whatever, you know?

Anyways, so I opened the door and then I do spit out a little bit and it’s just water, like… It’s the water that I’ve been drinking that came out. Then the door closes then more came out. I was just thinking about how they’re probably not wanting to hear this.

I know. Maybe cut this. Anyways, whatever. I went to the bathroom and then… …and then I cleaned it with, like, toilet paper but then it still wasn’t dry-dry. It looked like a splash of water.

I wanted to mop it but the lady didn’t let me. She said she would and I was, like, “No, no, it’s okay.” We went together, her and I, and I just… I did tell her it was water, so… But that was embarrassing. Anyways, I’m never going to drink again. Ever.

I never feel nauseous the next day. I just wake up, like, tired and so that’s why I’m not scared of drinking so much. Because, like, I’ve drunk and nothing’s ever happened. But now something’s happened. So now I will be scared the next time.

But, yeah, no, no, no. It’s been multiple times, you know? Multiple times. Nothing ever happens. Oh, yeah, in the end, we didn’t even buy anything from her because she said she’s not selling sandwiches until 10 a.m. And then we’re meeting up with our friends at 10 a.m., so…

We’re heading there right now, I guess, so we can get her a croissant. The best croissant in Metz. – Now, atleast, I can hear croissant. – Without throwing up? We got her a tea. Hopefully that helps out. We’re in the indoor market now. Gonna go look around.

We’re taking off from the market now and heading across the bridge to see the outskirts of the city center. And this guy is playing some music. Sounds so cool, Bonjour. Look at this church. It’s like one big tower. That’s so cool. I’ve never seen anything like that in my life. Oh, shit!

You just cussed in a church. Our host took us down this really narrow alleyway. It’s super cool. Oh, my gosh. I feel like a million bucks right now. My host has a sauna in his house. Check this out. Isn’t this crazy? We were all in here for, like, I don’t know, 30 minutes.

Oh, my God, that’s hot. Yeah, we were in here for, like, I don’t know, 20 or 30 minutes and we all just took turns taking showers. But I feel like a million bucks right now. I feel so good. I have an hour left to just kind of chill and enjoy the sights.

And then we’re going to be heading over to another Couchsurfer’s house in Metz for one more night. And tomorrow we’re heading to Paris. So just one last view. DJ Emile in the house.

In this video, we wander around Metz while Kassandra overcomes a hangover.
