Nancy, Dating back to the Middle Ages, blessed with majestic town houses, Nancy was provided with one of the most remarkable squares in Europe by King Stanislas in the 18th century, listed as a World Heritage Site by Unesco: Place Stanislas, which was refurbished, embellished and pedestrianised in 2005 for its 250th anniversary.
