This is a collection of alleyways, squares and small streets winding through some beautiful medieval and Renaissance architecture. The houses are tall, with elegant pediments. You’ll find delightful little shops and cafes everywhere on your stroll here. The fact that the people of Nancy actually live here makes it even more fascinating. It is an organic and thriving social area, and its quite popular with students from the nearby university. The best time to explore would be during the weekends, on Sundays, when the flea markets are on. The sights in Old Town are:

• The Duke’s Palace and Lorraine museum
• Church of the Cordeliers
• Citadelle Gate
• Craffe Gate
• Mansion des Loups (House of the Wolves)
• Ferraris Mansion
• Haussonville Mansion
• St Epvre Basilica and Square

• Walk
