We hope that the sights of Nancy are interested!

Overcoming hundreds of kilometers, a plane with tourists sits down, finally, on the fertile French land. We argue that you immediately guess in which city did they land? Of course, in Paris - in this treasury of world history and architecture. By making dozens of frames of the Eiffel Tower, at the Cathedral of the Parisian Mother of God, do not regret the legs, to overcome the insidious steps of Montmartre, to find out at the foot of Sacre-Ker and, turning back, any tourist is lit from delight. Below in front of him was crouched by the carpet of the French capital. Here it is happiness!

The former capital of Lorraine - Nancy

In fact, this is a small piece of it, because France is so great. Although according to the standards of Moscow, it is only 250 times the main Russian metropolis. In 1.5 hours of driving from Paris proudly, there is an old town, which in the time of its origin can argue with many polishes in the world. And his name is such a soft, caressing the ear of any football fan. Guess what city? This is Nancy! Although you knew how to sit on the train of the Eastern Station in Paris, then be prepared for a meeting with beautiful, what appear sights of Nancy. France In all its variety waiting for you, guest!

Once to the city, you need to decide what part it is to go. In the old one, where the streets do not differ and widely, but rich in old structures, or in a new one - spacious and light. Any resident of Nancy will recommend to start the inspection of the city from its central part. Yes, in principle, this will already be enough to cover the most remarkable objects of the city, and they are not enough.

The city center is the spectacular area of \u200b\u200bStanislava (Place Stanislas), which residents of the city adore, quite fairly considering it the most beautiful in the world, and calling gentle - place stan. Yes, she would have become a decent decoration of any megalpolis, so for the province than Nancy, it is simply great.

As lucky the city that Stanislav Leschinsky is the King of Polish, the Grand Duke Lithuanian and the last Duke of Lorraine - decided to build the square in honor of his testing of the French king Louis XV. The duke was the owner of Larring Lands since 1737, having received them when connecting Lorraine and France, and ordered Emmanuel Ere (the chief architect of Duchy since 1738) Draft Royal Square.

central square

The territory was chosen only for the third time, since in the first case the place was not approved by the military, and in the second - they wanted to demolish the old market square for her, but merchants resolutely intervened. Then they chose the not necessary wasteland to, so to speak, to please all the strata of society. We started the work in 1752, and after three years the object was already ready.

The area of \u200b\u200bthe square is in meters 106 to 124. Many of its facilities sponsored personally by Stanislav Leschinsky. For example, a huge sculpture of bronze standing on the pedestal, allegorically symbolizing the king and his power, was ordered and paid by the duke. However, during the Great French Revolution, the monument was demolished, the royal square was renamed folk. At the site of the bronze monument, for some time a sculpture was a sculpture, personifying victory, and then a monument to Napoleon Bonaparte was put instead. But since the 1820s, the center of the square, referred to as La Place Stanislas, decorates the bronze statue into the entire growth of Stanislav Leschinsky.

One after another appeared beautiful buildings, the author of which was also Emmanuel Ere:

• Episcopal Palace (now it hosts the National Opera House);
• Medical College (now this is a museum of elegant arts, where the works of French artists are stored);
• City Hall.

Town Hall and Opera Theater

The town hall, built as well as La Place Stanislas in the XVIII century, occupies the southern part of it. Today in it is sitting the mayor's office. This is a beautiful classicism building decorated in the central part of the front of the coat of arms of Stanislav Leschinsky and the city of Nancy. Upstairs are the original clock with statues-symbols of justice and caution, along the entire length of the building on the first two floors there are beautiful arched windows and elegant balconies with forged fences. The pride of the inner interior of the Town Hall is a luxury staircase with black with gold railings and a staircase, which was painted by the painter by Jean Girard.

It is noteworthy that the Town Hall of Nancy for several years in a row is used under light-music show. At its facade, a gigantic screen is installed on which certain scenes are designed, provided for in the subject of the Festival of Light.

Next door to the town hall is the opera house of Lorraine 1753 of the foundation. At first, the building belonged to the Archbishop, and it was later the theater, when the comedy theater burned down, and all the performances began to be held in the current opera theater.

Arch Ere

The northern side of Stanislav Square decorates a spectacular Triumphal Arch or Arch Ere. She was built on the site of the former royal gates. And although the military opposed its construction, but Stanislav Leschinsky insisted on the importance of this object. After all, she, like Arch Septimia of the North, was to become the personification of the great acts of the ruler. The arch in Nancy was built in honor of the King of Louis XV and the Aachen world of 1748, as evidenced by marble signs on it.

The arch is decorated with a décor on the military themes, the statues of the ancient gods (among which Muzicing Apollo is an allegorical figure of Louis XV), as well as a lead medalon with the image of the French king. That was what the leshkinsky relative was involved in the memory of the people of the people, he thwarted with whom he later became a grandfather of the French rulers. Standing back to the town hall and the monument to Stanislav Leschinsky, and smoothly forward to the arch era, you will have a wonderful perspective of the Palace of the Government, in which the governor of Lorraine was rented before.

Decor of Stanislav Square

Stanislav Square decorate gold-plated lights, made in Jean Lamura workshop. Black and gold, they look unusually looking at bright sunlight and very effectively - in the evening illumination. By the way, the combination of black and gold has repeatedly repeated in the color range of the square. Black, apparent transparent, wrought royal fence around the perimeter of the square decorates the golden patched frame: the coat of arms and the sign of the royal power - the crown - towers over the gate of the hedge. From hanging gold-plated lanterns, mild light flows, as if inviting the travelers to go through the main square of the city.

Water, as a symbol of all living and endless, is present in the interior of the square. These are two luxurious fountain of the work of the sculptor Bartelemi Gubaly. They are installed just about the gilded gates, with which it is unusually successfully harmonized. Fountains are made in the style of Rococo and are dedicated to two mythological characters: the god of the seas and water flows - Neptune, and his wife, the goddess of Marine - Amphitrite.

Stanislav Square is located in a "close-friendly" with two other squares of Nancy - Plas-de-La Nazi (Arena Square) and Plas-d'accidents (Alliance Square). Between themselves, they are connected by arch era and semicircular colonnades.

On the paved light cobblestone La Place Stanislas you can only walk. True, it used to be even permitted on it. In the 1980s, it was reconstructed, made, as at the time of the duke, cashed, and now it is exclusively pedestrian. In 1983, it was announced by the object included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

But most of all amazes the number of plantings, because once there was a nursery of plants (in French - Pépinière), by the way, also founded by Leschinsky I. Walking on it will become one of the perfect moments in an old French city.

Especially for Lilia-Travel.ru - Anna Lazareva

Nancy is a small town of Nancy with a big story in the north-west of France. Learn a little more than 100,000 people. Earlier, the capital of the Principality of Lorraine, and the roots of history goes to the distant XVIII century BC. Due to the large deposits of iron ore near the Merrt River, on which the town is worth. At the beginning of the XII century, the wooden city was burned down, after which he was built again, but already out of stone. Since then, he has become the capital of the Principality. No attractive city bloomed when Louis XV sent here to edit the expelled Polish king Stanislav Leschinsky, in which the city literally "exploded" by the Baroque culture and architecture. In honor of the Polish king, by the way, they called the central square, which, after the reconstruction, opened the Jacques Chirac himself in 2005 and which enters the list of UNESCO objects. By the way, Nancy, as an integral part of Lorraine, several times passed through Prussia, he returned to his own degree - a great and mighty country France.

Nancy. Heritage

One of the main attractions of Nancy is the Nancy Cathedral, the Triumphal Arch and the Palace of the Dukes of Lorraine. Also, our city - the hero is called the "capital of the East", since it was here that all the cultural life of the whole region flowed. In terms of the development of art and creativity, the city competed with the capital, the glorious city of Paris, due to the incredible set of talented people who turned the sad gray oriental town to the real city masterpiece. Mainly this is the merit of Ecol de Nancy, under the leadership of Emil Galle, who gathered a group of artists and architects around him. The local museum has a huge exhibition of Caravaggio. The close neighborhood of other countries could not not affect the cultural filling of the local museum. In Nancy, many museums that have absolute different subjects, for example, have a museum of crystals, some of which still can be seen in the remains of urban fortifications.

Who glorified Nancy for the whole world

Despite his richest culture, Nancy managed to become famous for the whole of Europe and their sporting success. So, Michel Platini, the current president of FIFA, and the three-year owner of the nomination "Golden Ball", began his career here, more than once, bringing his national trophies to his city. Arsen Wenger, the world famous coach of the Arsenal football club from London, was also born and grown here, and also defended the colors of the same name with the city of the football club. It must be assumed, the whole France is grateful to the small Eastern town for these talented people. Known in the world of sports Nancy and his basketball club, which is constantly among the championship leaders.

In general, very many famous people of France began their life path from here. What attracts the city of tourists today. The figures say for themselves: about 60% of urban income - tourism. Only for the feast of St. Nicholas, there are more than 100,000 tourists from all countries. Fireworks show on Stanislav Square (Place Stanislas) collects several tens of thousands of tourists, and a street parade is over 150,000. Many world famous people came to enjoy the unique atmosphere of the old city, breathe his story and gain inspiration. Do not miss the opportunity to visit the cradle of the French genre of Modern, who is so harmony with the fantastic architecture of the city.

Nancy is quite small, but a cute city located in the east of France in the Lorraine region. When I just arrived in Nancy, I thought it was absolutely nothing to do in the city. But having studied him, I understood it is a pretty interesting place and there is always something to do.

Despite the fact that NATIONS has small sizes and tourists, most likely, did not even hear about him, he has a rich history and culture. The Elsace and Lorraine regions belonged to France, the Germany at different periods of time, until finally hesitated for France after the Second World War.

In addition to the above, I would like to note that Nancy is a student city: more than 47,000 students study here. Lorraine University Campuses are located in Nancy and Metz and unite such universities like University of Nancy I, University of Nancy II, University of Velleni, National Polytechnic Institute of Lorraine and Architectural University. In addition, the university is historically developing communications and cooperation with Eastern Europe.

I met here many interesting people and friends from different countries and cultures. The presence of such a large number of students creates a living, energetic atmosphere in the city. This is a great place to carry out student exchange programs (for example, the Erasmus program).

The transplant takes place in Zurich, Frankfurt am Main or Helsinki, and there are such flights from 6 to 16 hours. On average, flights to Paris begins from 10 thousand rubles to two sides in no season.

In a conversation with locals, I use: do not compare Nancy with the neighboring city of Metz. Over the centuries of the city, they compete with each other for different political reasons. Both cities compete for the title of Lagania, and it sometimes becomes the cause of conflicts. As an example is the situation when in 1970, the administration of Laternity was transferred from Nancy to Metz. Then there was a small scandal, and so far some people are angry about this.

Things to do

If you combine a trip to Nancy with other cities, then boldly allocate for him no more than one day. What to do in it, and wrote above. The city has a very convenient location - you can go to Switzerland or Belgium from here, or continue the journey through France. Nancy is a wonderful city for walking and pleasant travel time. You can just walk around the city, go on a picnic or in a swimming pool on a hot day.

Bars. Where to go

In Nancy there is a considerable share of Irish pubs, wine bars, cafes and other institutions where you can drink.

How to move around the city

It is easier and best to move around the city on foot. All attractions are close to each other, in the center, and they will not be difficult to walk. For example, to walk from the railway station to the gate of San Catherine, you will need 20 minutes. Many streets are intended only for pedestrians.

Public transport

The local public transport system is operated by the transport service of the Nancy (STAN) transport service. The coverage of streets is good, but some other cities of France size Nancy is still better. However, local public transport is still convenient to move in large Nancy, between the center and the suburbs.

Bicycle

About 130 km of safe cycling paths are laid on the territory of Large Nancy. The bike is an excellent vehicle in spring and summer (and much less excellent in winter).

The city has a venue (Vélostan), where you can take bikes and in the long-term and short-term rental.

The short-term rental is called Velostanlib (Vélostan "LIB), the rental process is similar to rent in other cities of France. Cyclists can take a bike and move on it to more than 25 points of the city. To take advantage of the service, it will need to be paid (Visa / MC cards are accepted / FRENCH CB). Price is very low:

• One day ticket: 1 EUR, the following half an hour of travel for free, from 30 to 60 minutes of use 1 EUR and every subsequent half hour 2 EUR.
• Ticket for 7 days: worth 2 EUR, and then rates, as in the previous ticket.

30 minutes - more than enough if you do not intend to distance from the city center.

But keep in mind that you should have 150 EUR on your card, which are blocked during the use of the bike.

Long-term rental is called Boutic (Vélostan "Boutic. Wishers can rent bicycles and necessary accessories for the period up to 12 months. The price varies from 2 EUR for half a day to 80 EUR for the whole year. In some cases, it is possible to reduce cost. In the city there are 5 stores , one on the main railway station of the city (exit at Place Tieter).

If you stay in the city so much that you need your own bike, you can find cheap bicycles in Atelier Dynamo (Atelier Dynamo Grant Street (Grande Rue), 35.) - Little common workshop. Membership can cost very cheap - Already 15 EUR per year (for students), and used bicycles have the opportunity to buy for 25 EUR or more expensive.

Taxi. What features exist

Local authorities establish tariffs that may vary depending on the destination or time of day. It is impossible to catch the car on the street, you need to either order it or go to the parking lot taxi. The price depends on the distance, and in the taxi there is always a counter. You can pay for a credit card, but it is better to discuss this option in advance when ordering a taxi.

Trams

There is a tram line in the city, but the compositions drive it, more reminiscent of a tram with trolleybus, in France they are called trams on tires. This public transport was created in order to replace outdated trolleybuses, but quickly tired because of the technical problems that arose from the very beginning. The sad fate of trams on the tires has already become the objects of jokes and jokes among the inhabitants of the city.

Trams go from five in the morning and until midnight, and on Saturdays and during holidays the work of public transport leaves much to be desired.

If you drove somewhere on the bus, you can buy a ticket (1.50 EUR) directly from the driver, and if you went to the tram, then at each stop you will have to use special machines. Do not forget to take a trifle with you, because these machines do not accept paper bills. And the only credit cards they recognize are European maps with chip.

Tickets are valid for one hour. If you plan to spend a lot of time in Big Nancy, it may make sense to buy Pass 10 (price 9 EUR) or Pass Decouverte 24H (price of 3.30 EUR). The latter is valid during the day, the number of trips is not limited.

Buses

The city also has a bus network, you can buy a ticket (1.50 euros) directly from the driver.

The city has two transport service office, where you can familiarize yourself with the routes and timetable transportation of transport, buy tickets or get the necessary information:

• Espace Transport (Gar de Nassi Ville), Place de la République.
• Agence Stan, Dr. Schmitt Street (Rue Docteur Schmitt).

Transport rental

In the center there are several underground parking lots, including three parking lots of End Ryde Park (Park and Ride) on the outskirts of the city. The latter are operated by the transport company Nancy (Stan).

View the rental conditions of cars and prices can be, for example,.

The streets of the city are narrow and not suitable for a large flow of cars. Local authorities are actively fighting for the use of cars within the historic center of the city, and therefore many streets made exclusively by pedestrian, and also created a whole maze of unilateral streets. Ground parking is rare and is very expensive. If you can, try to avoid driving within the city.
