A beautiful square albeit not the most scintillating UNESCO site. Interesting history to read about and nice art museum right there.

Place Stanislas is impressive, royal, clean and friendly. It has an Austrian atmosphere with big light-colored houses in style surrounding it. Absolutely worthwhile to visit and discover other historic sceneries around Nancy

An unexpected gem. Stanislas Square is beautiful, and even better at dusk or in the dark. Lots of restaurants and bars to sit down and savour the atmosphere.

Its the most beautiful square both during day and night. It looks like some royal square. During St Nikolas Day, there are light shows and beautiful decorations. This is the best time to visit to witness these beautiful decorations here.

Beautiful square. It is very clean and well taken care of. It looks like it was build just yesterday, but it is there since more then 100 years. It has beautiful lighting at night. This summer there where beautiful lightshows on the buildings.

Check out the summer night time light show! Place Stanislas continues to be a beautiful sight to see and have a coffee, lunch, or dinner in the square. But now after dark enjoy a laser light show across the buildings. Grab an ice cream before or after the show.

This is definitely a must go if you are in Nancy. It is just beautiful with the old town buildings and since it's the centre of the old town, there is a 15 minute long light show every night at 10PM.

Stanislas has a significant importance in Nancy. It was classified as the favourite monument for France in 2021 and I will tell you why from my perspective: it is historical , big that it can host a parade in december, light show in Summer and winter, 'jardin éphèmere in October' and so much more events. There are restaurants/coffes/ museums/opera around this place. You can enjoy ice cream and delicious food or just sit in the chairs for people who came to admire the place/sun or lights. In special occasions, the lights of the buildings around Stanislas change like 'pink october, ..etc'. You can also visit 'hotel de ville' and enjoy the view from above.

Famous square surrounded by beautiful buildings and four golden gates. Don't forget to have some pastis on one of the terraces and to walk through the park that can be through the gate next to restaurant Michelangelo.

Beautiful example of a large European town square. It's so grand and decorative. There are a lot of cafes and restaurants in the square which created a great atmosphere. We sat in the middle of the square in the mid afternoon and enjoyed the sun and the buzz of all of the people running around, eating and talking. I especially loved the grand, curved, fences at each of the corners. Painted opulently in black and gold.

If you're in Nancy, you have to come here. It is the centre of the old town, surrounded by centuries of history, great, very well-maintained buildings and part of the historic route. The gleaming golden portals leading in all directions give it a special flair.

Loved the vibe! The great square, the gorgeous gate, cafes and people watching. Every street leading to the square has plenty of restaurant choices and interesting shops. It's a nice area to walk as well as through the park.

Main focal point of whole Nancy city , real nice place.

Beautiful. We visited at the end of march and there were barely people there.

Place Stanislas is the major landmark of Nancy and one of the most beautiful squares in France, if not even all of Europe. There is no charge to enter the square and it is lovely to stroll. Many cafés and tourist shops can be found here. A visit should take at least 20 to 30minutes and you can easily spend more time exploring the area around. It is a major tourist attraction in Eastern France and UNESCO world heritage site.

A majestic Place in the charming Nancy. You can revive the ostentatious that marked the French monarchy and have a glimpse of their peak. Get the tour train from there for having a nice and informative trip to the most famous spots in town.

A tranquil haven in Nancy, ideal for leisurely walks and unwinding. Captured serene moments, like an elderly couple peacefully seated on a bench, without intruding.

Huge park and great ambiance. Situated just beside city centre and good for sports, gatherings etc. We have been to this park few times during our visit to Nancy and enjoyed a lot

Commonly known as The Nursery as it's English translation or colloquially as The Pep, this is almost 22 hectares of park and garden inside a green space of over fifteen hundred hectares. Named as the nursery as Stanislas Leszczyński, former king of Poland, used this space as trees nursery to be planted along Nancy's streets. It's supposedly designed in a checkerboard style (perhaps better observed from above or when the leaves are growing in summer to appreciate the perpendicular shape). It's well laid out near Stanislas Square and alongside Place de la Carrière, with rose gardens, playground and carousel for kids, sporting spaces, puppets theatre, an art deco garden theatre, a music kiosk and so much more. Accessible to everyone and it's wheelchair friendly. Great for family outings or just a stroll and soak up the atmosphere.

Large city park that is well maintained. There are a lot of places to sit and take a break from the city. We enjoyed some cakes from a local bakery while sitting by the fountains. It was a nice experience.

Nice and cozy park with a variety of activities

Located in the centre of Nancy next to Place Stanislas, the Pépinière park is a wonderful green place for families and couples. It has a rose garden, a mini zoo where peacocks freely wander around, a great playground, sports field, merry-go-round and children's rides. It also has a small cafe and ice cream stand. There are many floral displays, also wooden architecture exhibitions and beautiful paths with ancient and exotic trees for a stroll. Magnificent and calming place.!

Oh yes…everyone will find something for himself at this place! Such a lovely park with all needed. The vibe is great. Don’t miss it out, you’ll fall in love 🥰

Through a special door into 🦚 La Pépinière, 🦜« come ailleurs » .. 🐿️« like once upon a time » 🧚🏻

Beautiful park to enjoy with the whole family. Nice pathways with playgrounds, fountains, rose garden and a small zoo.

Great park! A lot of things to do there , everything is beautiful. There are sport zone , zoo!!, zones for dogs ,but not that a lot . But you can just walking around all territory with dog. !! Caution, park may be closed due to the weather . For example,just before rain starts it may start closing. But I adore this park and I find it really nice!!!

Very nice middle sized park where you can enjoy different activities, like a small zoological garden and a children playground.

A unique place for Art Nouveau lovers. “École de Nancy, or the Nancy School, was a group of Art Nouveau artisans and designers working in Nancy, France between 1890 and 1914. Major figures included the furniture designer Louis Majorelle, ebonist and glass artist Jacques Grüber, the glass and furniture designer Émile Gallé, and the crystal manufactory of Daum. Their work was largely inspired by floral and vegetal forms found in the region. The goal of the group was to produce in series ordinary objects, such as furniture, glassware, and pottery, with fine craftsmanship and in original forms, making art objects available for people's homes” from wikipedia

What a wonderful museum. Must visit for art nouveau lovers.

Museum is nice, but yard is magnificent. So lovely, warm and soulful. Perfect place to walk or to just sit in one of nice chairs, enjoy nature or meditate upon something. Absolutely recommend spending some time here if you are at Nancy. In one of the pictures I found some woman who looked like Vladimir Putin:) Only negative thing was that I could not use the app, because numbers I entered did not correspond to anything. But maybe it is just me.

The displays were interesting but all of the information was in French. Nothing was offered in English unlike the excellent Villa Majorelle. The combined ticket for these two museums was 9€. The ticket seller here made a reservation for us at Villa Majorelle. The gardens were very pleasant on a warm day.

Nice piece of art nouveau. I particularly liked the toilet. The little beer garden outside is a nice touch...quite british

A lovely little museum with a very rich collection of art-nouveau furniture and vases. You can also buy a combined ticket to visit both the museum and Villa Majorelle. In the garden, there is an outdoor café (at least in the summer) where people can have some rest and have a drink after visiting the museum.

Very nice museum with a variety of Art Noveau pieces - don't forget the garden. Visit takes about an hour, it's best to get the combo ticket with Villa Majorelle here.

What an amazing museum, a must visit for anyone who can appreciate design, architecture and craftsmanship. A real gem that is located on the outer suburbs of the city this museum is an amazing collection of Art Nuevo interiors, furniture and ceramics. Spear over two floors there is a lot to see, a free app allows you to either have the displays described to you with history behind the making and collection of pieces. Alternatively you can also read from the screen of the phone. It’s worth taking headphones if you can to listen to the audio guide. Overall entry was cheap and the museum wasn’t very busy so we could see all the interiors and furniture uninterrupted (We visited at the end of April).

This is a really rare gem in Nancy when it comes to Art Nouveau! I really read up it's history before I visited and its absolutely worth it. It's not too far from the city centre and Nancy railway station. You can get information about transportation to the museum from the tourism office. It started in 1964 and house in a former private château by the famous glassmaker, Émile Gallé. It's surrounded by a beautiful garden with an aquarium pavilion and a funeral monument in art nouveaux style. The main building has two sections of which one was built in late 1800s and the other in 1912 by architect, Lucien Weißenburger. Inside is just breathtaking and it doesn't follow a certain order but rather grouped in a way to reflect how art nouveaux style fits into the everyday. From stunning vases and glass bowls by Émile Gallé to spectacular lamps by Louis Majorelle (of the Daum factory displaying in Nancy Musée des Beaux-Arts) and bedroom and dining room furnishings! There's two levels of absolutely exquisite collections from leadlight glassware to furnitures and more. There's no lift access to the second level but it's wheelchair friendly entrance and the first floor exhibition and the garden. I left absolutely inspired and impressed with this art form of what's rarely known as modern style noodle style that draws on the aesthetic of curved lines! As a reaction against excessive industrialization and heavily reproduced old style arts, art nouveau sets remarkable new waves of aesthetic beauty in artform. I highly recommend visiting this gem of a museum and really appreciate this art movement of art nouveaux in the city that started it all, Nancy. It costs a mere €6.00 and absolutely worth it and suitable for all ages.

Really impressive museum with a lot of amazing pieces and an incredible vase collection. Was a lot of fun to visit. Prices were (as of July 2023) Free for students or till age 26. From 27 it costs 10 euros a person.

Two stars for the works of art however three less for unprofessional staff. Today I witnessed a man touch a painting with his finger on the second floor and when I reported it to staff in the lobby I was verbally accosted and threatened by security staff. What an odd snd unjust reaction! One short man lounging on the side came an inch from and angrily barked: “you’re telling me I’m now doing my job?!!” Huh? What? What is this strange man on about? The other staff (two women and a older skinny man) said nothing while this little hot head escalated things. And then came the act of class and professionalism from other security staff: two Old men came and jumped to conclusions and verbally assaulted me. The larger of the two bumped into me and told me To get out. The ignorance and lack of professionalism from staff here is palpable. I suppose it must be extremely difficult to find professionally trained security staff in France that one must hire from the bottom of barrel. This is a ticking time bomb , especially if management wants to ensure guests feel safe and works of art are secured! Will someone get shot by security for reporting a fire?

Variety is the spice of life and so is this museum. For every style of art there is a painting or object in this museum. The art ranges from the European middle ages through to the modern era, with an Asian art section and a Jewish art section. What I found exciting is the layout of the floors. It isn't just square rooms with art on the walls... It has nooks and crannies that entice you to explore the whole building. This gives the visitor some unexpected suprises in discovering new, unexpected spaces and art. In the basement is an ancient wall that was found through archaeological digs, with a huge Daum, art nouveau glass and art deco glass vases up through until modern times. It was a pleasure for the eyes as the collection is colorful and quite extensive. Throughout the building there are some English translations about, art but it is limited. I would suggest using a Google Lens with translation feature if you aren't fluent in reading French. There is also a museum app that is used for an audiotour, but i didn't use it. Highly recommended if visiting Nancy.

Love the artwork! So many beautiful paintings however the staff here were so rude, lazy and unprofessional! I saw security staff checking their phones rather than doing their job and when my friend reported someone touching a painting security staff attacked him instead of doing anything about the problem! Wow! This gives a very poor impression and a very poor experience to us visitors!

A very descent collection for a local art museum. There are definitely some problems with the lightning as sometimes I needed time to find a good spot to see all the details without reflects. Anyway, if you want a quiet hour for inspiration without being overwhelmed, that’s the place to be in Nancy. Also there is a painting by Lucian Freud!

Loved the museum. It got better the further in we went, in my opinion. The beginning hosts many old, religion inspired, pieces which I always find impressive but overwhelmingly nonsensical and rather boring. More modern art can be found on the lower floors and in the basement area. Entry is free under 27 years old and costs 10€ for anyone older.

We were fortunate enough to visit on a Sunday where the entrance was free. We really enjoyed looking at the art, from the more modern to medieval style. The room with all the mirrors and lighter was mesmerizing!

The Musée contains a good collection of art from the middle ages to contemporary. There is a good section on Daum glassware in the basement which I suspect you wouldn't find else where. The collection turned out larger than I had expected so give yourself some time and maybe do some research first!

Lovely place to wonder for a few hours. The glass exhibition in the basement was beautiful and unexpected.

Lot of great art pieces, whose all got the attention they need. Downside, much arts from the 17th century instead of from different time periods. The historical touch in the basement is a good addition. I would recommend this place.

Nice small museum, cause about 20-30 fish tanks with generally smaller fish but still nice. The entrance is free if you’re under 26 and the 2nd floor has taxidermy of all sorts of animals you spend about 1 hr or so

Nancy Museum-Aquarium offers an unforgettable experience blending art and marine life. From vibrant exhibits showcasing aquatic wonders to insightful displays on local history, this museum delights visitors of all ages. At Nancy Museum-Aquarium, entry is a treat for all on the first Sunday of every month, completely free of charge. Dive into a world of wonder without worrying about admission fees, making it an accessible destination for everyone to enjoy.

Very interactive, nice exhibits. There were a lot of very comfy couches so if taking a lot of breaks is your thing, I'd definitely recommend!

I love the is place so much!! I love all the programs they have available for families and their wide variety of aquatic life!

Very nice place for children but even for adult to see the different animals. There is an acquarium also. Very nice and you can buy a nice poster and holdkeys.

If you're in Nancy and want to go see something, especially with kids, come here and spend a very exciting hour. Ground floor are the live fish in the aquariums, first floor are stuffed animals and fossils. You can absolutely learn a lot in quite a short time. Most information is available in English and German, in addition to French of course.

Small but super cute!!! It will take you around 1-1h30 to visit all. €5.50 for adults and €0 for kids

Small but price is very fair. 5,50 when I was there. Great way to waste an hour before your tourist bus.

Not a huge aquarium (downstairs) and museum (upstairs) but interesting and well-managed and kids-friendly. Go in the early morning in the summer if you wanna avoid nursery trips lol (Not all informations are in English) There is a beautiful garden outside too i especially loved the black / dark coloured flowers l

The aquarium isn't too big but it has lots of different fish to look at.Upstairs it has a museum with different animals(the animals are not alive)and descriptions of the animal.The gift shop doesn't have many options,mostly books and pencils with animal toppers.

It was fun! Not huge, but big enough. Besides the sea-life, there is also a nice exposition of animals and some interactive things for the kids. Especially compared to the (low) price you pay, can definitely recommend a visit!

Fantastic cross between animals that you can see in the aquarium and the taxidermy upstairs. They change their exhibitions regularly as well. Fantastic members of staff who are willing to help you and explain different parts of the museum. I took 2 groups of school children which was free and my family and each visit was very good.

Small aquarium and natural history museum. Good for children.

It is a gate and an old fortification. It has beautiful facade. It is located near to the stanislas place. Next to the museum. It is a free.

Such a beautiful 14th century gate. Great place to checkout if you are already on Grande Rue. So special!

Entering here ... You feel like a character in a Victor Hugo novel ... Un misérable comme moi !

This is where you should turn around and go back to the historic part of the city. Nice architecture.

It’s recently renovated and it looks beautiful, don’t miss it when visiting Nancy

Old port in 14-15 century
