Take a break
The parks and gardens in Greater Nancy, tailored specially for recreational activities and relaxation, are the city’s lungs. They shout out for visitors to set off on a hike, go dirt-biking or engage in any number of outdoor activities. They are also an opportunity to uncover the riches of Nancy’s natural heritage and behold the 165 species of protected birds living there.
At the centre of the metropolitan area lie Parc de la Pépinière, Parc Sainte Marie, Parc de Brabois and the Botanical Gardens (recognised as one of France's three most beautiful gardens), inviting walkers and ramblers in for a relaxing break and contributing to the comfortable pace of life in Nancy's urban area.
 5 minutes from Place Stanislas, in the very centre of Nancy, the banks of the Meurthe River, with their riverbank trails, offer a place for leisure and relaxation that is much appreciated by local residents. The water gardens are an enchantment to the eye, as are the marina and marketplace where, every Sunday morning, you will find all of the region's products.
To savour the local specialities, head toward Quartier Gourmand, a very lively section of the Old Town, with its many restaurants and bars. Cozy or trendy, traditional or inventive cuisine - they cater the most varied of tastes! And, for the night owls, there is always fun to be found, well into the night! |
 Vosges Mountain Range will delight fans of cross-country and downhill, skiing as well as climbing. Put on your snowshoes or hop into a sleigh for another enchanting snowy experience. When the weather warms up, Gérardmer and La Madine are the two local lakes awaiting nautical sport enthusiasts and swimming fans.
