An organization responsible for promoting the city, Destination Nancy highlights two of Nancy’s assets: its heritage and its museums. Destination Nancy plans to set up new Art Nouveau discovery itineraries from the start of the 2022 school year. One of them concerns the Nancy Thermal district and the Sainte-Marie park which welcomed two million visitors during the International Exhibition of 1909.
