Soup and Tulips

On Tuesday, we went to the Marche Couvert to have lunch at the soup bar. The owner asked us to eat inside, and we were later joined by two women from the Metz Tourist Office who were hosting some Belgian journalists. The soups are made fresh every day from produce sold at the market; note the soup kettles on warmers on the floor.

In the afternoon, we took a bus down to the Botanical Garden in Montigny-les-Metz, where we enjoyed spectacular displays of spring bulbs.
