Friends bibliophiles hello
For a bibliophile visiting a city course passes through the exploration of resources from books. In Metz, yet it was going well, with traces of schedules from 1220 written in French.

I found a lively, airy with a rich and diverse heritage, ancient thermal baths at the center of contemporary art through the medieval old town, the houses of the eighteenth and Kolossalllles constructions Imperial.
The rich museums of the court contain gold plate ivory binding and reconstitution of a print shop with a hand press.
The library offers its hall in another press much more modern but alas no book is exposed today. We can nevertheless get some catalogs of exhibitions on contemporary bookbinding, photo or illumination.
At the bottom of the old city we find the charming corner where Rabelais lived.
Facing a general bookseller, very old books, however, lacking. Nearby, a wide street frontage of the Germans as a bookbinder and a little further, another bookseller I was hoping (without much hope) a little more rich in sights unfortunately closed that day.
Just steps away from I discovered an antique wood engraving of a bird; consolation bibliophile tipsy.

PS: I personally recommend this binder, very nice for sure, but from whom he got took over a year to recover a book left on deposit for a restore, after many delays, false promises, etc.. I rarely take place, but I do it for once. Hugh
