Story · Porte des Allemands
You're standing at the Porte des Allemands, the Germans' Gate, in Metz. This is no ordinary city gate. It's really a small castle built across a bridge. And the name has nothing to do with an invading army. The gate was named after the hospital of the Teutonic Order, which stood nearby.
