The CCI of Greater Nancy

The CCI of Greater Nancy and its architecture

The Nancy audio-guided tour draws your attention to the building of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Meurthe-et-Moselle. While the institution is useful to businesses, it is above all its architecture that holds the attention here, a fine example of Nancy Art Nouveau.

A jewel of the School of Nancy

The building is distinguished by its floral ironwork and its stained-glass windows with plant ornaments, signatures of Art Nouveau. This artistic movement, which flourished in Nancy at the turn of the twentieth century under the impulse of the School of Nancy, draws its inspiration from the curves and motifs of nature. The CCI is one of its most remarkable testimonies, illustrating the influence of this style in the city.

What there is to see

The façade and the portal, adorned with plant motifs in wrought iron and stained glass, deserve that you linger over them. The building marvellously illustrates the aesthetics of the School of Nancy, which made the city one of the world capitals of Art Nouveau. It is a stop for lovers of architecture and decorative arts, along the discovery of 1900 Nancy.
