Parc Sainte-Marie

Park and garden in Nancy

The Jesuits settled here in 1620 and named it Sainte-Marie. In 1808, it became a private pleasure garden.

In 1904, the town became the owner and turned it into a public garden.

    As you stroll along the wide, winding paths, you'll discover some remarkable trees (in 2014, the Magnolia was awarded the "Remarkable Tree of France" label), a bandstand, a rocky mound and its pond, beautiful lawns and the former Maison Alsacienne, created for the International Exhibition of Eastern France in 1909.

    A playground with basketball baskets and petanque courts are also available. The structure is suitable for disabled children.
