Saint Mary Park of Nancy

Great park for summer strolls in the shade of the trees. Nice space and pedestrian runways. Some really interesting trees. My kids loves it in autumn to take strolls amongst the dead leaves!

Good for a walk

I walked through this lovely park after visiting Musée de l'École de Nancy art nouveau museum in the Blandan district of Nancy. Close by here is the Nancy Thermal swimming pool complex (under renovations until 2022) and accessible via Rue Pasteur, avenue Boffrand, avenue du Maréchal Juin (the judicial area). Fascinating history that goes back to the 1600 when it was first settled by Jesuits and named it in dedication to the Virgin Mary. This park is second in size to the Pépinière park and it's frequented by the locals as there's a kids playground, tracks for joggers and walkers, basketball court, cycling tracks and a boules pitch. What fascinating here is the Alsatian house transplanted in the park from Zutzendorf, a village in Alsace, in its entirety. This half-timber house was part of the International Exhibition of Eastern France in 1909 and is used for exhibition room and is named the Green Space House. Suitable for all ages, even in winter when I visited. A beautiful urban green space.

I grew up in Nancy and this is the park of my childhood, so I'm a little bit biased about it. Nonetheless, it is a great park, with beautiful trees. It is a very pleasant place at all times of the year, perfect in summer to gather with friends on the grass and chill, perfect for a running session, and ideal for kids with many trees to climb on and a little game area.
