Latest Lunéville hotel reviews
brummielaura Says: The chateau is also known as 'le petit Versailles', because it looks like a (much smaller) version of this grand palace.It was built in the early 18th century as a commission by Duke Leopold I, according to plans by the architect Germain Boffrand.The castle is surrounded by...
Musée départemental Georges de La Tour
brummielaura Says: The painter Georges de La Tour was actually born in Vic-sur-Seille in Lorraine in 1593 (he died in Luneville in 1652).At the museum, you can see a couple of works by Georges de la Tour (including 'Saint Jean Baptiste dans le Desert'), and also paintings by other artists from...
Musée Départemental du Sel (Salt Museum)
brummielaura Says: Yes, that's right, it's an entire museum devoted to salt (also called the white gold)! Mainly on how salt was harvested here in the olden days - since the Iron Age actually (using a technique called 'briquetage').Opening times: Tue - Sun 9.30-12.00 and 13.30-18.00...
Basilica of St-Nicolas-de-Port
brummielaura Says: You wouldn't expect to find a magnificent Neo-Gothic church like this in the countryside of Lorraine. It's awe-inspiring, especially since the surroundings are quite humble.
brummielaura Says: The tourism office (office de tourisme) is located in the chateau - very central. They have a lot of leaflets and advice for tourists. Opening hours: Mon-Sat 9-12 and 14-18, Sun 10-12 and 14-18
brummielaura Says: Fontenoy-la-Joute is a little village which specialises in second hand bookshops (a bit like the famous Hay-on-Wye in Wales). There is a total of 19 bookshops and plenty of books!
brummielaura Says: The yellow-coloured mirabelle plums are a specialty of the region of Lorraine (which Luneville of course is a part of).You can have them in tarts, as jam, or as a bottle of 'eau de vie de Mirabelles' (a kind of schnaps).
brummielaura Says: Bread is ever so important here and a substantial part of every meal. It seems to be impossible to eat without having a loaf of baguette on the table, from which you tear a piece to eat with your meal.
