Place de la Carrière, Historic square in Nancy, France

The Place de la Carrière extends between the Arc Héré and the Government Palace, featuring uniform classical facades and two rows of linden trees.

The square originated in the 16th century as a tournament ground for knights and nobility, later transformed in the 18th century under Duke Leopold's direction.

The Place de la Carrière forms part of a UNESCO World Heritage site alongside Place Stanislas and Place d'Alliance, representing French classical architecture.

The pedestrian zone provides direct access to numerous restaurants, shops, and the Museum of Lorraine through wide walkways and stone pavements.

The Beauvau-Craon mansion, designed by architect Germain Boffrand in 1720, stands as a prime example of aristocratic architecture on the square.
