Attractions to see in Nancy, France: La Place Stanislas


Photo Place Stanislas, Nancy France.
Nancy's main attraction is the La Place Stanislas. Oh yes! Just in case you do not know where Nancy is, it is situated in the heart of Lorraine, a North-East region of France.
Accordingly:
La Place Stanislas is definitely something to see, especially by night, with the buildings and the fountains softly enlightened. Just next to it lies le Jardin de la Pépinière, really nice during the summer. Have a walk in the old city, through La Grand'Rue : there are many little shops with old books, art galeries and wine bars with good (expensive but tasty) food . On the way, you'll also see le Palais Ducal, a museum with the whole story of Lorraine from the prehistory on, and a few Georges De La Tour paintings. But what I like most in Nancy is to walk around just at random, and to look at the Art Nouveau buildings. Nancy is famous for it, as well as for its Bergamote, a kind of sweetie.
There other attraction to see, and here is a very good place to start. Why wait for the best for last. Make it first on your list.
