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.

Third site of the UNESCO architectural ensemble of the 18th century, this square created in the 16th century, then remodeled in the 18th, was originally a place of jousts and tournaments, hence its name "Carrière". https://www.nancy-tourisme.fr/offres/place-de-la-carriere-nancy-fr-2037091/
