It’s been 10 years since the postal sorting center became what is now the Centre de Congrès Prouvé! To mark the occasion, Destination Nancy invites you to an exceptional guided tour. Come and explore the history of contemporary architecture in the heart of the city!
During the « Trente Glorieuses », the economic and demographic boom spawned a wave of large-scale architectural and urban projects in Nancy. Focusing on the Prouvé family’s major impact on the city’s modern architecture, this tour will immerse you in the history of the contemporary buildings that define Nancy’s urban landscape today.
These buildings, which bear witness to a reinvented lifestyle and construction innovations, represent a precious architectural heritage for Nancy. The tour will highlight structures such as the Centre Prouvé, the Joffre Saint-Thiébaut building, the Saint-Sébastien complex and the Thiers tower, offering an enriching perspective on these often underestimated and misunderstood works.
Let us guide you through the history of these emblematic buildings that have shaped the city’s visual identity. Book now!
