Our next stop was the beautiful city of Nancy. It has a magnificent central square, Place Stanislas laid out in the 1700’s. It is quite dazzling with it’s opulent buildings, gilded wrought-iron gateways (4) and rococo fountains. It is now a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Nearby smaller squares are just as opulent. Nancy even has it’s own Arc de Triomphe built to honour LouisXV. It has a lovely park, parc de la Pepiniere which is a formal garden and a very pretty rose garden.

At precisely 10.45pm each evening Place Stanislas comes alive with a spectacular sound and light show projected onto the impressive Hotel de Ville
