Nancy is located on the banks of the Rhine Canal and is roughly divided into two parts: the Old Town, where narrow streets and historic buildings are concentrated, and the New Town. It is better to start your walk from the center, from the squares of Stanislaus and La Carrière. In the historical part, be sure to visit the Palais Palais-Ducal, which now houses the Museum of Lorraine History and the Cordelier Museum. Nearby is the Museum of Fine Arts, which is unlikely to be overlooked by connoisseurs of painting. Lovers of the sea and its inhabitants, as well as travelers with children, should look at the local Aquarium.
Fans of delicious food and alcoholic drinks will also like it here. It is worth trying infusions on Mirabel plum - it is a kind of symbol of the region. By the way, at the end of August in Metz is held an annual festival dedicated to this fruit!
Taste the cheeses in restaurants, they are simply mind-blowing in Lorraine. The main types are: Munster (soft cheese made from cow's milk), Carré de l′est and Brouère (in 2010 it became the first cheese to go into space aboard a spaceship). In addition to cheese, local pates, confitures, dandelion salad and fondue are worthy of attention.
Nancy
UNESCO protected museum city
The city owes its unique appearance to Stanislaw Leszczynski, the last of the independent dukes of Lorraine, who was deprived of the throne by the King of Poland. During his 20-year reign in the mid-18th century, he carried out one of the most successful restorations of Nancy. Later the city was not occupied by Prussia, which allowed the historic center to remain intact until today. Today Nancy is known far beyond the borders of the country, thanks to the soccer club of the same name.
