Heartbeat city
/////////////// Nancy, City of Art, Creation and Pleasure
Art shows off with elegance in Nancy, through the witnesses to its history: the Place Stanislas, jewel of architecture from the Age of the Enlightenment, listed in UNESCO World Heritage, the individual hotels of the Old Town, the many buildings and splendid town houses designed and decorated by artists from the famous School of Nancy (André, Majorelle, Daum, Gallé, …). Art is on show in the rooms of the contemporary Musée des Beaux-Arts or the Musée Lorrain and in the Musée de l’Ecole de Nancy, unique in the world, and in the various artists’ studios that regularly open their doors.
Nancy pulses with emotion and sweeps you away to numerous cultural rendez-vous: the grand scenes of the Opéra National de Lorraine, the Centre Chorégraphique National - Ballet de Lorraine, the Théâtre de la Manufacture, the Ensemble Poirel, L’Autre Canal (space for the performance of contemporary music), Zénith (must-see arts theatre and concert venue), … and to shows in the more intimist settings of its theatre-cafes, concert-cafes and cabarets.
Festive Nancy offers you the choice of its numerous theme restaurants and its turned-on bars and discotheques to prolong your pleasure into the wee, small hours. With the lust for life of some 45 000 students, the ambiance is friendly in the most Latin of cities in the East of France.
