The Limestone Grasslands of Lorry Mardigny

Introduction

20 km south of Metz, the Lorry and Mardigny coasts are home to an exceptional group of calcareous orchid lawns, over 100 hectares in size and maintained by sheep grazing. It's a rich but fragile ecosystem, so stay on the trails to protect it. For more information, visit the Lorry-Mardigny patrimoine website.
