The Pépinière Park

The Pépinière park

The Nancy audio-guided tour invites you to a green break in the Pépinière park, a vast green setting of twenty-one hectares, a stone's throw from Place Stanislas. Walkers, students and joggers make it their daily meeting place.

A creation linked to Stanislas

Like many great sites of Nancy, the Pépinière park owes its creation to Duke Stanislas, in the eighteenth century. As its name indicates, the place first hosted a nursery intended to supply the city with trees. It was then laid out as a public garden and has not ceased, since, to be one of the most appreciated green spaces of the ducal city.

What there is to see

The park offers vast lawns, shady paths, a rose garden, a French-style garden and even a small animal park. Its centuries-old trees, its fountains and its statues make it a much-prized place for strolling and relaxation. A stone's throw from the monumental squares, it is an ideal nature stop in the heart of Nancy.
