Summary
At the heart of Lorraine, Nancy exhibits multiple, enthralling facets. The city was built on marshes one thousand years ago and has attracted light ever since. It did so from the 11th to the 17th century with the Dukes of Lorraine, then from 1737 to 1766 during the realm of King Stanislas, a century go through the prolific artistic work of the Nancy School of Art, and finally today, thanks to the optimal management of its vast heritage. The artful lighting up of its monuments, the treasures housed by its museums, the sheer pleasure derived from a walk through the old city and the energy displayed by its universities and its economic hub, all concur to make Nancy a city of art offering its residents excellent living conditions.
