Getting there

By train: Nancy-Ville station, a 10-minute walk away. Booking ahead is recommended.

History

Built in 1901–1902 by the architect Henri Sauvage, it brings together the best of Nancy's craftsmen — ironwork, stained glass, ceramics. Fully restored, it reopened to the public in 2020.

Culture & stories

Plant-inspired lines, stained glass by Jacques Gruber and furniture by Majorelle combine into a total Art Nouveau ensemble.
