Place Stanislas is the one I'd make a beeline for - the gilded gates are genuinely dazzling, and the whole square feels wonderfully grand without being hard to enjoy. It's largely pedestrian, so take your time wandering around and let yourself admire...
Place Stanislas
Don't rush past the Fontaine de Neptune while exploring Place Stanislas - the fountain is one of those small details that makes the square feel theatrical. I love that it's tucked into the corner, alongside its matching fountain, so it rewards a clos...

L'Instant Saint-Epvre Charm & Old Town sounds like my pick for an atmospheric Nancy stay, especially if you want the old-town mood to be part of the trip. The name says exactly what I'd hope for here: a charming base with a sense of place rather ...
