Itinerary
Look up, just at the corner of Rue Saint-Michel and Rue Saint-Épvre. You see those two little statues hugged? Despite the name of the house, they are not mermaids but two bearded newts. This sculpted detail gave its name to the House of the Two Mermaids, a Inn built in 1586 for Raymond Luyton, valet of the future Duke Henry II of Lorraine.
At this crossroads, do not look, there is nothing special to see. On the other hand, at the level of the black grid, a little higher on the right, you will find one of the most beautiful houses in Nancy.
With its Gothic features and magnificent spire 87 metres high, the Basilica of Saint-Epvre seems to have been watching over the city for centuries.
In the architectural landscape of the Old Town, this beautiful building is the formal proof that before Stanislas and its multiple urban transformations, Nancy already had everything of a great. A large ducal city, let's specify.
Hundreds of people who step on you, beak up, without paying attention. This is the eternal daily inscription “1477” located at 30 Grande Rue de Nancy.
Orleans, Lyon, Blois, Arras, Poitiers, Marseille, all these cities share one thing in common. To have somewhere, on one of their streets, a statue in the image of Joan of Arc.
In pastry, we know too well the endless debate around the macaroon and its place of origin.
There, on the top of the entrance portal, you can actually read: Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Meurthe and Moselle.
Curved front, stout windows, large red blinds aged by time, everything seems to suggest that we are in the presence of a great address of Nancy. And that is the case.
In the family of seven doors that Nancy has, we introduce you to the Stanislas Door.
In case you have no idea what Art Nouveau is, characterized by curves and the theme of nature, open your eyes and admire the beautiful blue building posted on your left.
If you want to know why they wanted to bring you in front of this building, rather than another, the answer is wisely waiting for you inside.

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.
