Allo allo!
After that little cultural detour, we're back on track today looking at the wonderful sites around Nancy. Today we'll be looking at Place Stanislas.

Originally, it was known as Place Royale, but in 1831, its modern name started to be used. A statue of Stanislas now stands where Louis XV once stood.
The Fountain of Neptune at Place Stanislas. Gorgeous, isn't it? (this picture is licensed under the GNU Agreement and can be found at wikipedia.org)
This place, as you can see by the photos, is absolutely spectacular. Make sure you check it out if you head to Nancy.
That's it for today.
À demain
