Petit-Saulcy Island, River island in Metz, France.
Petit-Saulcy Island stands in the Moselle River, connected to central Metz through multiple bridges that facilitate movement between different sections of the city.
During Louis XIV's reign, the island served military purposes and underwent substantial modifications in the 1850s under Napoleon III's administration.
The Place de la Comédie on the island features a central fountain surrounded by the Temple Neuf, Opera Theater, and administrative structures.
The Moulin des Thermes area includes a pedestrian walkway that connects different parts of the island while providing views of the Moselle River.
The Temple Neuf, constructed in the early 20th century under German rule, displays Neo-Romanesque architecture influenced by 11th and 12th-century churches.
