About Nancy
Nancy, in Lorraine in north-eastern France, is a city of golden squares and Art Nouveau houses, built around the grand Place Stanislas.
Nancy grew as the capital of the dukes of Lorraine, and in the eighteenth century the last of them, Stanislas Leszczyński, a former king of Poland, gave it a new heart. The Place Stanislas, framed by pavilions and gilded wrought-iron gates, joins the Place de la Carrière and the Place d'Alliance in a UNESCO-listed ensemble, while the Ducal Palace and the Porte de la Craffe, a medieval gate, recall older days.
