ITINERARY 1

IN THE HEART OF THE BUSINESS AREAFrom place Maginot to place Stanislas, this walk explores

the 1900 business and commercial area: shops, banks and

newspapers, plus hotels, bar-restaurants, theatres…

The Ecole de Nancy took advantage of technical progress and

the fine quality of the existing decorative arts and crafts in

the area to symbolise the spirit of enterprise, characteristic

of the middle class at the time, by using stone, glass and wood.

ITINERARY 2

LE PARC DE SAURUPTIn 1901, Jules Villard decided to create a garden estate

Art Nouveau style in the area around his “chateau”. Émile André

and Henry Gutton, two local architects were commissioned to

carry out his project for a fenced in, private park with a porter’s

lodge. However, only seven of the original 100 buildings planned

were actually built and sold. To relaunch the project, the villas

were replaced by semi-detached houses, to cater to the property

market and the park became part of the public domain.

NANCY AND DAUM,LINKED DESTINYThe long history of Daum, one of France’s finest

crystal and glass works, has been one of constant

creation. Founded at the end of the 19th C, it has

successfully renewed its choice of artists and

the designs using its famous “pâte de verre”.

From the great Art Nouveau masters to some of the

finest contemporary designers, its name has always

been associated with the most brilliant creative

artists. The Daum works which still stand in

Nancy in the street bearing its name, has

successfully perpetuated its unique savoir-

faire. The Daum boutique on place Stanislas

has numerous works by some of the most

brilliant artists working in glass.

Atalante I Georges Braque

NATURE AND ART NOUVEAUThe genius of the École de Nancy artists, often inspired by ordinary

plants and insects and coupled with a perfect mastery

of glass-making techniques, produced a symphony

of shape and colour manifest in sumptuous works.

As you stroll through the city’s parks and

gardens, admire the plants and flowers

immortalised by these Nancy artists in their

natural surroundings.
