How do you get to Nancy?
Every day, thousands of travellers head to Nancy, whether for a holiday, studies, business travel or a simple weekend. A dynamic city at the heart of Lorraine, it attracts on average nearly 10,000 people a day.
In terms of transport, preferences are fairly balanced: around 40% of travellers choose the train, 40% the bus, and 20% carpooling. This wide range of options lets everyone find the journey that suits them based on their budget, comfort or need for flexibility.
Before going into detail about modes of transport, let's remember that Nancy is worth the detour. Its famous Place Stanislas, a UNESCO World Heritage site, amazes visitors with its classical architecture, gilded gates and majestic atmosphere.
But the city isn't just about its iconic square: its historic centre with cobbled streets, half-timbered houses, museums, parks and cultural scene make it a well-rounded destination, accessible and full of charm.
Add to that a generous local cuisine – from quiche lorraine to potée, bergamots and mirabelle plums – and you have every reason to plan your visit. And for that, Tictactrip is here to help you find the ideal journey.

The history of Nancy
Before diving into the unique atmosphere of the city, let's take a moment to understand its origins. Located in the Meurthe-et-Moselle department (54), in the Grand Est region, Nancy today has around 105,000 residents spread over 15.01 km².
Founded in the 10th century, the city has had an eventful history, marked by wars, alliances and transformations. It was in the 18th century, however, that Nancy reached its peak, under the influence of the Dukes of Lorraine. It was during this period that one of its greatest treasures was born: Place Stanislas, a jewel of French classicism, now listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
But the story doesn't end there. Nancy is also the birthplace of Art Nouveau in France, thanks to the École de Nancy and the artists who shaped the city's visual identity. A walk through its streets is enough to grasp the full richness of its heritage.
As you can see, Nancy is much more than just a stopover: it's a city where every stone has a story to tell.
