What to do in Nancy for a romantic weekend or a week with your family? Want to know everything about the city known as the "City of Golden Gates"? Follow the guide!

The beating heart of the Meurthe-et-Moselle department, Nancy is a must-see destination. Watered by the Meurthe river which runs along the eastern side of the city from north to south, Nancy, capital of the Duchy of Lorraine until the middle of the 18th century, is located in the heart of green valleys dotted with hills. A very old city, it surprises and enthralls with the grandeur of its listed and remarkably preserved heritage. To begin with, there is nothing better than to stop at Place Stanislas. Emblem of Nancy, with its high wrought iron gates decorated with gold leaf, this square, classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, is one of the most beautiful in the world. Built in 1752, this entirely pedestrianised square has kept its old-fashioned charm intact with its trickling fountains, its light-coloured cobblestones and its splendid Héré Arch. A must-see place for anyone visiting Nancy, it is lively in winter and summer alike and is full of restaurants and terraces where it is good to settle in as soon as the first fine days of the year arrive. This is the perfect place to have lunch or a coffee, and to discover the local flavours: mirabelle plums, macaroons, bergamots, baba au rhum, pâtés lorrains, quiches and other "bouchées à la Reine" will delight the taste buds of the whole family. Following on from this famous square, it is impossible to miss the Place de la Carrière. A medieval square, the gateway to the heart of Nancy's Old Town, this square was once used for tournaments and equestrian exercises and boasts magnificent period buildings, including the Government Palace. Ah, the Old Town... Captivating, it is a real concentrate of history that allows the visitor to discover the Nancy of the past, when the ducal city was still surrounded by ramparts. Here, private mansions are legion, as well as charming houses, which proudly stand above the medieval streets with their unique character. The Hôtel d'Haussonville, the Porte de la Craffe, the Place Saint-Epvre, or the Ducal Palace a little further on are also worth seeing. The marvellous late 15th century Cordeliers church and its amazing round chapel inspired by the Medici chapel in Florence, and the imposing Notre-Dame-de-l'Annonciation cathedral, a true jewel of Roman religious architecture, will complete your discovery of Nancy's built heritage.

But Nancy is also THE city of art par excellence. On the Place Stanislas side, the Musée des Beaux-Arts (Fine Arts Museum) displays over 9000 square metres of splendid collections, such as the Daum collection and its more than 725 glassworks, Jacques Callot's engravings, Modigliani's paintings, prints, and in all more than 2000 paintings from the 14th to the 20th century, as well as a good number of works by Lorraine artists. A must-see: visit the Nancy School. The cradle of Art Nouveau, this museum is totally dedicated to Nancy's artists and is a major stop on any stay in Nancy for those who love art and history. And to finish this overview of Nancy's art side, a stroll around the Sainte-Marie park, the Saurupt district, the train station or the Majorelle villa should be added to your "to do list".

The discovery of the Porte de la Craffe, the only vestige of the medieval fortifications that once surrounded the city, the visit of the Port de Plaisance where it is good to cycle along the quays, but also the Place de l'Alliance, the Christmas Village in winter, the central market on Place Henri Mengin, the Pépinière park, the botanical garden of Montet and the Lorraine historical museum (in the Palace of the Dukes of Lorraine) will complete your stay in Nancy
