Nancy's Heritage Treasures

Nancy's historical landscape spans from the 14th-century medieval fortifications of Porte de la Craffe to the 18th-century UNESCO World Heritage ensemble of Place Stanislas, Place de la Carrière, and Place d’Alliance. The city features diverse architectural styles, including the neo-gothic Saint-Epvre Basilica, the baroque Nancy Cathedral, and the Church of Saint-François-des-Cordeliers, which houses the tombs of the Dukes of Lorraine. These sites illustrate Nancy's evolution as a seat of power and a center of religious and urban innovation.
