Marché couvert de Nancy, Indoor market in Nancy, France
The U-shaped market building measures 70 by 58 meters, featuring a central courtyard transformed into a covered hall with a glass roof.
Architect Prosper Morey designed this market structure, which opened its doors to the public on May 1, 1852, replacing an earlier project.
The market brings together sixty merchants and fifteen market gardeners who offer regional specialties and fresh products from the Lorraine region.
Located between Rue Saint-Dizier and Rue des Quatre-Églises, the market provides online ordering services through a dedicated website since 2015.
Additional vendor stalls extend onto the esplanade between Saint-Sébastien Church and the market building twice each week.

Nancy presents an architectural range spanning from the medieval Porte de la Craffe to the ornamented facades of the Art Nouveau era. The city served as a center for the Art Nouveau movement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, evident in structures such as Villa Majorelle and Maison Weissenburger. Beyond these decorative residences, buildings like the Palais du Gouvernement and Palais Ducal document the political and dynastic history of Lorraine, while religious structures including Basilique Saint-Epvre and Chapelle Ducale represent the region's spiritual architecture. The city spreads across several historic districts with distinct visual characteristics. Place de la Carrière and surrounding streets such as Rue des Maréchaux and Rue Félix-Faure demonstrate classical and Baroque urban planning with symmetrical facades and uniform design. The Quartier des Trois Maisons preserves medieval elements, while Cours Léopold presents wider boulevards and neoclassical structures. Public spaces such as the Marché Couvert offer everyday scenes within architectural frameworks dating to the 19th century. Green spaces provide contrast to the urban density. Parc de la Pépinière extends across 52 acres (21 hectares) in the city center, combining formal gardens with wooded paths. Jardin Dominique Alexandre Godron displays botanical collections adjacent to the Musée-Aquarium de Nancy. Smaller parks like Parc de la Cure d'Air and Parc Olry offer elevated vantage points over the cityscape. The Quai Sainte-Catherine along the canal connects waterways with historic infrastructure, creating linear compositions along the waterfront.
