PLACE OF ALLIANCE
A baroque square with a central fountain sculpted by Cyfflé, century-old lime trees and Nancy townhouses.
Built by Emmanuel Héré, Place d'Alliance mirrors Place Stanislas, in almost immediate proximity and in the same classical style. Place d'Alliance is also Baroque, with a central fountain sculpted by Cyfflé. Its century-old lime trees and private mansions earned it UNESCO World Heritage status in 1983. Its name pays tribute to the signing of the 1756 treaty of alliance between Louis XV and Maria Theresa of Austria, wife of Francis I of the Holy Roman Empire. The peace and luxury of the ducal era remain intact.
