Place Stainslas golden

Place Stainslas golden gate Always an artistic town, Nancy didn’t stop evolving after the Art Nouveau movement, and it has become a hub of innovative street art. From intricately-carved drain covers to sculptures made from park benches, it’s an open-air art scene which goes far beyond murals and graffiti. To make sure you don’t miss any of it, book onto a street art tour. To stay on theme, eat at Brasserie Excelsior in the evening, an Art Nouveau bistro with a classic menu and a painted ceiling worthy of a chapel. © Nancy Thermal visites.nancy-tourisme.fr 48h 24h 72h Some like it hot – day 3 Begin the day with a stroll in one of Nancy’s immense urban parks. Jardin Pépinière has Art Nouveau pavilions, and resident peacocks and monkeys. It’s worth leaving the city centre to visit the botanical garden, Jean-Marie Pelt, on the city’s periphery, which has everything from alpine to tropical plants. It would be a sacrilege to leave Lorraine without trying their famous quiche, and the best in town is at Le Potager. After all the sightseeing, enjoy a relaxing trip to Nancy Thermal. This thermal spa first opened at the beginning of the 20th century, but by the 1930s it had already been abandoned. It took almost a century for the spa to bounce back, and in the spring of 2023, a 20,000m 2 complex was unveiled. There’s the original round swimming pool under the dome, surrounded by pillars and looking rather like a Roman bath, outdoor heated Nordic pools, hammams, waterfalls, saunas, jacuzzis and a solarium, and all the water comes directly from the naturally thermal springs below Nancy. Top tip: Pop to the tourist office to buy a City Pass for 1, 2 or 3 days – it includes entrance to all museums and monuments in the Greater Nancy area, guided tour of the city and audio guide, travel on the public transport network, city guide, ride on the little tourist train plus special offers and discounts in numerous shops and activities.
