the rose garden / la roseraie
Une partie du parc de la pépinière est aménagé en roseraie. En ce moment, c'est la pleine période. Il y en a pour tous les goûts. Les nombreux bancs permettent de faire une pause et les paons adorent passer par là!
A part of "le parc de la pépinière" is a rose garden. Currently, the roses are in flower. There are flowers for all tastes. The benches give the occasion to have a break and peacoks love to have a walk in this garden!

temple protestant
L'église Saint-Joseph des Prémontrés, construite à proximité de l'ancienne porte Saint-Jean, sert de temple protestant depuis 1807.
L'hospice des prémontrés fut fondé en 1635. L'église fut construite sur les plans de Betto, très lentement : elle ne fut terminée qu'en 1759, par Claude Mique.
This church is a protestant church since 1807. The construction ended in 1759.

pierre percée
Today, a photo of "le lac de pierre percée" (the pierced stone lake). It's the bigger artifical lake of Lorraine (304 hectares and a circumference of 32 kilometers); It's a very peaceful place to have a walk, especially in summer, as it's a wooded place.
