Drive to Metz, booking into an Ibis out of town and having a surprise in the evening.

Usual superb services on motorways, food made to order, salad bar etc. By now the car was collecting interesting road kill and more signatures.

As the Ibis was far out of town and I was expecting another quiet night in town, I drove into Metz. Found a parking space near the railway station, just over the road a Jazz band where playing in front of a bar. Had a drink, a quick listen to the band
( not really my sort of thing ) and walked into the city centre. And walked straight into a Music Festival.

There were bands / music everywhere around the main square. ________________________________________________
Found a bar serving food, had a baguette and beer while listening to the band playing in the shop doorway next door. Then had a stroll around the town watching / listening to all types performances and music. Tonight was a complete surprise and a totally opposite to last night. If only I had known, I would have taken a bus or taxi and made a night of it.
