What to expect
Your guide will steer you through the compact medieval quarter, stopping to point out details—a carved lintel, a building's former use, a connection to a local figure—that anchor Nancy's character. The walk builds towards Place Stanislas, the city's showpiece square, where context transforms what might otherwise be just a pretty plaza into a statement about 18th-century ambition. Expect a conversational pace; this isn't a rushed tick-box tour. You'll hear anecdotes that locals actually care about, not rehearsed patter.
