The image displays the Cathédrale Saint-Étienne de Metz in Metz, France, under a clear blue sky with sparse, wispy white clouds. The grand Gothic cathedral, constructed of golden-yellow limestone, occupies the central and right portions of the frame, showcasing its highly ornate facade with a prominent central rose window, a large arched entrance portal, and a visible clock face near its apex. To the left, a large, multi-story building of similar architectural style and material is visible, featuring arched ground-floor windows and a flat roof. The foreground consists of a wide, paved public square composed of light-colored blocks. Various individuals and groups are present on the square. In the lower-left quadrant, two men are standing; one in a white t-shirt and blue shorts stands beside another in a patterned blue shirt and shorts, who is positioned near an electric scooter. Several other pedestrians are scattered across the square, walking or standing near the cathedral entrance and the building on the left, where multiple motorcycles or scooters are parked. To the far right, an active outdoor cafe terrace is visible, featuring numerous white umbrellas, tables, and chairs, occupied by multiple patrons. Gold-colored stanchions with ropes delineate the cafe's seating area. Natural daylight illuminates the scene, casting soft shadows.
