Low cost weekend in Nancy: a guided tour through the heart of the Lorraine

A break in the leafy shade

For a low cost weekend stay in Nancy, several Ibis hotels are very conveniently situated in the city centre and near the station. These hotels are just a few minutes by foot or public transport from the main attractions of Nancy and its charming heritage.

Notre-Dame-de-l’Annonciation cathedral

The horizon broadens in the vast Parc de la Pépinière. These former royal gardens are now entirely dedicated to inhabitants and visitors. During a low cost weekend in Nancy, you can relax in its flower-bordered pathways or under the shades of its trees.

The city of Art nouveau

Don’t miss the Notre-Dame-de-l’Annonciation cathedral in the New town. Built in the early 18th century, the cathedral features a dome decorated with a fresco. Above the entrance, the enormous organ, a listed historical monument, is one of the key features of the ensemble.

In the early 20th century, the creative Art nouveau movement took hold in Nancy thanks to artists like Emile Gallé. Lots of buildings featuring bold lines attest to this creativity, including the Villa Majorelle, an emblem of this architectural movement.
