Nancy

August 13 - 16

We take a cruising break and stay for a long weekend in Nancy.
Over 300'000 people live in Nancy and its suburbs. It is the former capital of the dukes of the Lorraine region and is known for its architecture and the famous place Stanislas, a World Heritage site since 1983.

The port is only a short walk from the town center.
