Have you chosen Nancy as your holiday destination? Don’t miss the opportunity to discover the legend of Saint-Nicolas. Whether you’re a couple, a group of friends or the whole family, this activity organized by the Tourist Office will plunge you into an illuminated setting you won’t soon forget.
A beloved figure among children, the patron saint of schoolchildren is still the talk of the town. And in Nancy, 40 days of festivities are devoted to him every year. The least we can say is that he occupies a very special place in the hearts of the people of Lorraine.
To find out all about this generous and benevolent figure, take a stroll through Nancy’s Old Town. For 1h30, you’ll follow in his footsteps, passing through various places, from Place Vaudémont to Porte de la Craffe. With rides, entertainment and treats, you’ll discover the stories and legends of the patron saint of sailors.
