It is quite rare to meet a guide of this quality.

Discovering Art Nouveau in Nancy

5.00We 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.
Professional driving, disappointing art nouveau buildings seen

4.00The 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

5.00Very 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,...).
