Nancy's Essential Treasures

Nancy’s architectural legacy is centered on the 18th-century UNESCO World Heritage ensemble comprising Place Stanislas, Place de la Carrière, and Place d’Alliance. The city showcases a transition from medieval fortifications like the 14th-century Craffe Gate to the ornate Baroque style of the Nancy Cathedral and the Neo-Gothic Saint-Epvre Basilica. Beyond the grand squares, the city is a cradle of Art Nouveau, exemplified by the Brasserie Excelsior, while the expansive Pépinière Park provides a green link between the historic Old Town and the Enlightenment-era New Town.
