Stays and accommodation

Spending Christmas in Nancy's old town

In December, the old town lends itself to stays where you take the time to go out, come back to rest and then set off again. Its appeal is not limited to the holidays: the streets, the squares and the façades also give plenty to see on a walk, even when you have no specific plans.

Keep a moment to discover the district

Around the Grande Rue and Place Saint-Epvre, devote a first outing to observing rather than looking for an activity. Spot the passages you like, a place for your next break and the route you will take on the way back.

You can extend the exploration towards the Porte de la Craffe or head to Place de la Carrière. These are landmarks for a walk; access to buildings, indoor visits and activities should be checked separately.

Alternate heritage and festive atmosphere

A good December day does not need to be filled from morning to night. Start with the historic streets, keep a break to warm up, then head to the official programme's events that interest you.

This alternation suits a weekend for two just as well as a family stay. It avoids making the whole trip depend on a single activity or on ideal weather.

Plan meals before the last minute

If you have spotted a restaurant, ask about its opening times and book according to your programme. Around Christmas and New Year, check the services offered for your exact date.

For a meal in your apartment, first make sure you have the necessary equipment. Do your shopping early enough so you do not depend on an exceptional opening.

Choose suitable accommodation

An apartment in the old town lets you give the district a place in your stay. However, look at the precise information: access, sleeping arrangements, amenities and booking conditions.
