- The 18th-century city, linking the old and the new towns (Ville Vieille and Ville Neuve), was built by Stanislas. He decided to connect the old and the new towns (Ville Vieille and Ville Neuve) which were separated by marshland and built a royal square dedicated to his son-in-law, Louis XV. It was renamed Place Stanislas in 1831, when the city erected a statue (the work of sculptor Georges Jacquot) to this enlightened monarch.
To explore it, start from Place Stanislas, and walk through to the adjoining Place d’Alliance, quiet and elegant, another listed UNESCO site. A little further on you will find yourself facing the cathedral, built in characteristic 18th-century style. Continue through the Canons’ district, where the 18th-century city joins the Renaissance new town and you can admire a number of very fine 17th- and 18th-century town houses.
