According to the official Nancy website there are 23 parcs and gardens plus 19 squares in Nancy. The Parc de la Pipiniere is the biggest one, but there are little green oases around the center of this beautiful city, which makes a stay there very pleasant! Taking a little nap in the Parc de la Pipiniere before heading back to do more sightseeing!
Nancy is a city of parks and gardens, quite naturally, as part of its long horticultural tradition.
It is a pleasure to walk through these green and verdant areas that bring to life many great periods in Nancy’s past; enjoyable, very varied and surprising visits for all.
In 1765, Stanislas gave orders for royal plant nurseries to be laid out along the city’s ramparts. Originally created to raise trees to be planted along the main roads in Lorraine, it consists of 16 beds. In 1835 the royal nurseries were transformed into a public park, but the original layout was retained.
The huge square was designed and partially built up by Ere-de-Cornie (1705 - 1763), who started the work in Nancy in 1740 (the square celebrated the 250 anniversary in 2005). The lattices marking lateral entrances are well-known not less, than the buildings forming the square.
The square became an example of new architectural thinking, having united actually different two cities existed side by side with each other, but divided by fortification constructions: the city of the nobility and the city of craft people. This square which appeared practically in a bare floor, serves today as a symbol of the new city device.
The cathedral was... a disappointment.
In a very beautiful town, the word to describe the first impression of the cathedral was... dirt. Only the grids, matching the style of Stanislas square gates, oppose that negative sensation.
