Nancy, a city rich in history

Nancy, the second largest urban area in the East of France, is the former capital of the Dukes of Lorraine. Our city is recognized for its rich architectural history by UNESCO: Place Stanislas, la Ville Vieille, its houses built in the style of the « École de Nancy »…

In order to appreciate this richness, go for a walk in the Vieille Ville, have a seat on the terrace of a café, visit the Jardins d’Eau, the Parc de la Pépinière or one of the many shaded areas of town.
