Architecture Art nouveau à Nancy

Art Nouveau Gems of Nancy

Nancy served as the primary hub for the École de Nancy, a movement that defined French Art Nouveau through organic, nature-inspired designs. This collection features works by pioneering architects like Lucien Weissenburger and Georges Biet. Highlights include the iron-framed Immeuble Génin-Louis, the intricate stained glass of the Crédit Lyonnais building, and private residences like Maison Bergeret, which showcase the movement's signature floral motifs and regional craftsmanship.
