Travel Tips for Nancy

Art Nouveau

by tini58de

Nancy is also called the cradle of Art Nouveau, a style that equally influenced architecture, interior design, jewellery and objets d'art.

The Ecole de Nancy, founded in 1901, was the strongest force in the development of the Art Nouveau. They now operate a museum, which I must admit we did not see - so this is a must do thing for our next visit for sure! We strolled through the Art Nouveau part of Nancy and loved those little details like the doors, the balconies, the stukkos - what a great aspect of this beautiful city!

Please do have a look at my travelogues with more pictures!

Walk Past Art Nouveau Architecture in Nancy

by hquittner

There are very few places where Art Nouveau was created by more than a single artist or two. One of these places was Nancy over the 1890-1910 period. The most significant work was done in glasswork by people like Emile Galle (1846-1904) and the cabinet maker Louis Majorelle. At the same time there was one of the most distinguished companies making high quality glass objects for general consumption at work in Nancy associated with the various artists. Another aspect of this work was the creation of interesting architecture in the Art Nouveau style following along the lines of people like Gaudi in Barcelona. One of these is the Excelsior restaurant. Another example is a the BNP bank.

Walk By the Arch of Triumph

by hquittner

The Arc de Triomphe was erected in the northern extension of the Pl. Stanislas between 1754-56 in honor of Louis XV by Emmanuel Here as a modern copy of the Arch of Septimus-Severus in Rome.On the front facing the Place, one can see a set of Greek statues and a medallion of Louis XV and other features. The central arch is tall and rounded at the top with small lateral passages that fill the rest of the width of the street. The back face of the arch is rather plain. There are galleries leading away to either side of the arch. On the southwest side is a statue to Jean Callot, the greatest etcher before Rembrandt, who was born and died in Nancy in 1635.
