About this property

The open sea, accommodation along the water

Typhaine and Samuel, the new owners since May 2017, welcome you aboard the Octopus barge moored on the Moselle canal in Montigny-lès-Metz, the countryside in town. Along the towpath lined with chestnut trees, it is the ideal place to escape for a night or a longer stay.

The large open space is the old cabin of the sailor, a true haven of peace. Entirely renovated, the cabin will offer you all the comfort to relax. Located 10 minutes walk from the city center of Metz, garden city, the city testifies by the richness of its patrimony, a history begun three thousand years ago.

Plein les yeux for lovers of urban tourism, with the Center Pompidou Metz and its exhibitions, the museum of the Court of Gold, the Frac and the multitude of independent galleries. On foot or by bike, you just have to look up to admire the magnificent facades including that of the station of Metz which is inscribed historical monument and more beautiful station of France in 2017!

For the followers of the "farniente", an independent terrace equipped with deckchairs and barbecue is reserved for you. Bicycles are also available on site to follow the trails of the canal, towards Nancy or Thionville via the Charles le Téméraire bike route.

Have a good stay.
