Why go
Stand in Place Stanislas to see how architecture and gilded ironwork frame a public space built to link Nancy's medieval old town with its later new town. That planned connection is the square's real story. Continue into the Ville Vieille if you want the contrast in street pattern; reserve Art Nouveau sites for a separate focus.
What to look for
- Place Stanislas and its gilded gates
- The shift from the square into the Ville Vieille
- Art Nouveau sites elsewhere in Nancy
Useful to know
- Walk Place Stanislas and its linked squares before entering the Ville Vieille.
- Give Nancy's Art Nouveau sites separate time; they are spread beyond the central square.
