The City of Nancy

Noted for its culture and arts, Nancy (pop. 110,000) is also a long-standing center of higher education and research, with three universities. Research and development firms (particularly in the fields of information technology and biotechnology) also play an important role in the local economy. Moreover, Nancy has long been associated with the chemical, metallurgical, and electrical industries. Streets are lined with architectural marvels, liberally gilded, from private mansions in Art Nouveau glory to public buildings like the palace of the governors. Nancy has an air of refinement found nowhere else in Lorraine. With a resplendent central square, fine museums, formal gardens and shop windows sparkling with Daum and Baccarat crystal. The Place Stanislas is a dramatic central square, bordered by classic examples of mid-18th-century architecture, from the Hotel de Ville to the Musee des Beaux-Arts, and accented by gleaming grillwork in gates by Jean Lamour and lead fountains by Barthelemy Guibal.
