The grandiose city of Nancy is situated in Northeast France in the heart of the Lorraine region. Together with the Foret de Haye it stands on a virtual island, surrounded on all sides by rivers and canal systems that run like a moat around the city and the countryside to its west. Nancy is renowned for its fabulous architecture, and is an excellent choice of location in which to buy majestic French property, whether in the city itself or out in the rolling countryside.
Nancy is the historical capital of the Lorraine Region. Baroque architecture can be seen in abundance around the city, with many examples of elaborate wrought-iron work adorning a number of buildings. Stanislas Square - created in 1737 by the exiled King of Poland, Stanislas Leszczynski, to honour Louis XV of France - is one of the historical highlights in the 18th century district of Nancy. In the old town is the Duke's Palace along with the stately homes of Haussonville Mansion and Ferraris Mansion.
As you would expect in a city like Nancy, there are some grand homes available on the market. Apartments, townhouses and villas make up the majority of Nancy property available to buy around the city, while Nancy property overlooking the waterways is in high demand. Outside the city there are vast swathes of countryside in which those seeking rural French property can find exclusive homes. A six-bed villa in France with large grounds between Nancy and Pont-a-Mousson was recently on the market for 535,000 euros.
