Large building along the entire south side of Place Stanislas. Built in the mid-18th century, the building combines baroque elements with classical elegance. The original building was significantly smaller, two-thirds of the current size were added in the course of the 20th century. The entrance hall is impressive.

The largest park in Nancy is centrally located, not far from Place Stanislas. It is spacious with many avenues, individual large trees on lawns, sports and entertainment facilities, and many small pavilions, other structures, and fountains.

While strolling between the tall rows of trees on Place de la Carrière, it's worth taking a look at the rooftops running parallel to it. A veritable flood of chimneys is spread across the roof gables. A quirky sight.
