The igloo village in Metz is first and foremost the story of sharing: three people from Lorraine who realize during a conversation at the table that they had the same idea at one point, and who get together to work on it to « see if it is feasible ».
The concept of igloos dedicated to catering has already been tested in New York and London. Maybe a bit far for a meal when you live in the Grand Est, Luxembourg, Belgium or Germany nearby 🙂
Why shouldn’t what is done in London or New York be possible in Moselle? Finding no valid answer to this question, the project was put into study in the summer of 2019.
The relocation of the chalets of the gourmet Christmas market (from the place de chambre to the place de la comédie) in 2021 would offer the opportunity to give life to the village of igloos, and to offer a different experience to the inhabitants as to the tourists who frequent the city center of Metz …
After hundreds of hours of work, the project was submitted to the Architects of the Buildings of France, then to the town planning services of the Eurometropolis of Metz and finally to the elected officials and the services of the city of Metz who all gave their agreement.
