A short stop in Nancy France

Just across the border from Luxembourg and a short train ride you can enjoy a short stay in Nancy France. I had no idea what to expect in the city. It had some fairly interesting things to see so I think it’s worth a day trip. It’s very easy to get around and it’s not a large town center. So at least when you tell people you visited France I think it’s fun to tell people you visited in Nancy France.

Entrance to the plaza

Stanislaus statue in Nancy France
Stanislaus was the big cheese in Lorraine
Entrance gate
One of the entrance gates. The French love to use gold
Large entryways
It seems obvious that these large streets were made for a large gatherings to enter, entertain and then exit. These entryways are very large.
Hotel de Ville
Every town seems to have a hotel de Ville. More than a hotel it seems to be the city Hall
A nice Vietnamese coffee
This was the best of Viennese coffee I have ever had
French idea of Thai food in Nancy France
Pitaya is a chain of Thai restaurants in France but they have their own concept of Thai food. It’s actually a Poké bowl. In Thailand they don’t put the main dish on top of the rice, they serve it on the side next to a plate of rice.
A cheese restaurant?
This is a pretty fun name for a what? I didn’t really find out but I think it’s got something to do with cheese. But it reminds me of how I used to call my dog DC when I wanted him to come home. I would say “cheese” this way. A little hint, he loved cheese.
An afternoon feast
at the museum this was the one piece of art that caught my eye. I found it an interesting portrayal of a feast on a farm. Noticed the fellow on the far right with this gigantic piece of bread he is slicing to serve people
A A beggar with a Japanese T-shirt
Many of the beggars in France have a long explanation of why they need money. This guy even had a T-shirt indicating he had been running for a long time in Japanese
