The port in Nancy is close to the Centre, about 10 minutes walk from Place Stanislaz. It's crowded with boats crammed into the pontoons and larger vessels lined alongside 2 or 3 abreast along the quay. Camper vans are squeezed into a small concrete parking area near the bins and the office. I think it is a combination of the chilly weather and dull skies that make it all seem dreary.

| In Place Stanislaz all is bustling and bright thanks to the cafes, golden gates and beautifully restored buildings |
 |
| The public are sometimes allowed up the curved staircase of the Hitel de Ville to view the square from the first floor balcony |
 |
| Majorelle Villa under scaffold. Oh well not a wasted walk as the Art Nouveau museum is just down the road, (and the sun was shining) |

| Jardin Pepiniere at night. (near port and next to Place Stanislaz) This garden includes a menagerie. A very pleasant and extensive public garden. Very well cared for and well used. Also includes a Rose garden. Still a few roses clinging on despite the cold. |
