Come and discover, in French, Nancy of the Belle Époque, when the city shone internationally in the economic, cultural and especially artistic fields!
Many artists joined forces to form the Ecole de Nancy and became known in many fields: architecture, cabinetry, ironwork, painting, glassware, etc. At the end of the 19th century, architects abounded in ingenuity and inspiration to make their designs unique works. They were aided by the technological advances of the time which allowed the use of new materials.
We will discover the witnesses of this prosperous past during a walk in the city center of Nancy where the architectural masterpieces serve as havens for exceptional pieces.

We are pleased to have opted for a guided tour of Nancy because we would have missed many buildings and would not have known the history. We were also able to enter places we would not have had access to. In 1 hour and a half we discovered the beauties of art nouveau and learned its origins. We will repeat the experience to discover other facets of Nancy whose riches we have not explored.

The guide was punctual and professional, the information interesting, but the approach was a bit too didactic. The negative aspect was not due to the guide but to the buildings seen, not very appreciable. Nancy, as the French capital of art nouveau, did not excite us

A complete and captivating tour of the art nouveau as you travel through the city, which allows you to observe all the heritage of Nancy still dotted in the streets. That was great!

Very informative visit on Art Nouveau in Nancy, by a very pleasant guide, very knowledgeable and very eloquent. Duration of 1h30 ideal to discover some buildings other than the essentials (Villa Majorelle, Museum of the School of Nancy,...).
