Along the way, you will encounter examples of architecture, cabinetry, ironwork, painting and glassware that reflect the era. As you move through the streets, the guide will explain how architects and makers at the end of the 19th century combined creativity with the new technologies of the time. You will hear how these advances allowed the use of new materials and encouraged inventive, unique designs. The architectural masterpieces you pass will be presented as the settings that still house many exceptional pieces from that prosperous past.

In Nancy, a French-language walk will introduce you to the city's history and heritage with a guide who holds a Master's degree in history.

This self-guided experience in Nancy turns Google Maps into a personalised city route. It isn’t a typical walking tour with fixed times or large groups.

You’ll receive an official Selfgui.de® e-Map that works with Google Maps and shows the suggested route and individual stops. There’s no extra app to download — the map integrates with the maps you already use. The provider also operates a Happy-Only policy: if the e-Map isn’t what you expected for any reason, contact them by email and they will offer a refund.
