The Arch from the Place Stanislas
The building began in 1502. The most part of the palace was destroyed during the French Revolution and now we may see only a wing of the palace. In XIX century palace became archeological museum of Lorraine and in 1937 it became Museum of Lorraine.
Right outside the Place Stanislas and through the Arc De Triomphe there is a small little train that takes you on a 45- minute tour of the old part of Nancy. It looks and runs a lot like the trams at Walt Disney World. There are headphones on the train that have guided tour information in every 11 or 12 different languages (including English) and it is 6 Euros per person, and kids 10 and under are free. It's money well spent, and you learn so much about the history of Nancy and there's just enough cool stuff on it that it's great for kids too.
The Triumphal Arch was built in the 18th century at the same time as Place Stanislas was created. It was built into the city walls that separated the old city from the new city. It was meant to be a copy of the Triumphal Arch in Rome and was erected in honor of King Louis XV.
Be sure to look at all the reliefs and details - it is quite stunning!
This church was completely rebuilt in NeoGothic style from 1865-74 and a complete cleaning of the outside was begun in 2000. From 1436-51 a previous Gothic church was built which was demolished in 1863. An even earlier church was started here in 1080. We visited in 1993 before the cleaning began and the later views of the church have the west front covered. Eventually somebody will have to enter pictures of how the west front will look.
Searching for Majorelle Villa we went to this museum, before opening time.
We couldn't wait, and didn't enter, but, with the whole Nancy being an open museum, I'm curious: what else did they put inside?
