Porte Héré
A Baroque arch by Emmanuel Héré, along the northern side of the Place Stanislas, leading to the Place de la Carrière. It was built at the same time as the Place Stanislas, in honour of King Louis XV.
Part of the Old City, Place St-Epvre includes the St-Epvre basilique and square with many cafés and restaurants.
Museum of Fine Arts
A well-balanced collection of paintings from different periods, including "The Battle of Nancy" by Eugène Delacroix.
The town square was built by Stanislas Leszczyński, Duke of Lorraine and former King of Poland, in the 18th century. It has a Stanislas statue pointing to the north and fountains and wrought iron gates in the two northern corners. The surrounding buildings are all in a single, classic style, adding to the grandeur of the square. In the summer, there is a very impressive light show every night at 10:45.
