1.Musée de l’école de Nancy

The museum, opened in 1964, is set in the former house of a patron of the École de Nancy, Eugène Corbin. The architect was Lucien Wiesenberger. It has a garden, an aquarium pavilion, and the main building contains works by all the major Art Nouveau artists of Nancy, which was one of the major centers of the movement in Europe.

2.Parc de la Pépinière

Located in the heart of the historic center, the Parc de la Pépinière (often called La Pep’ by the people of Nancy) offers a veritable haven of greenery with its 21 hectares of wooded areas and its magnificent rose garden. Former royal nursery founded by Stanislas on the site of the former ducal gardens and bastions of the Old Town, it was transformed into a public park in 1835 while retaining its original layout. It is a paradise for walkers, joggers, pushchairs, children, students, a breath of fresh air for city dwellers, an unmissable green break! The park offers many leisure activities: an animal area, mini golf, a playground, a puppet theatre, several catering/confectionery areas as well as numerous sports fields (football, basketball, pétanque, etc.) and a gymnasium.

3.Basilique Saint-Epvre

The basilica, the 3rd church since the foundation of the parish of Saint-Epvre in 1080, is dedicated to Saint-Epvre, bishop of Toul, whose relics are kept in a reliquary in the high altar. It is built in the lancet Gothic style and has honorable proportions: the spire points to 87 meters for a building a hundred meters long. The nave is 84 meters long and has a central vault height of 24 meters. The project also received praise from Viollet-le-Duc.
