Place de la Carrière, Historic square in Nancy, France
Place de la Carrière extends between a triumphal arch and the Palais du Gouverneur, featuring identical mansions along its sides with classical architectural elements.
The square emerged in the 16th century as a tournament ground before Duke Stanislas Leszczynski transformed it during the 18th century reconstruction of Nancy.
The Beauvau-Craon Mansion and its mirror structure demonstrate the symmetrical design principles that characterize French classical architecture of the 1750s.
The square connects directly to Place Stanislas and remains open throughout the year, with guided tours available through the Nancy Tourist Office.
A semicircle of columns frames the northern end of the square, creating a harmonious transition between the urban space and the Palais du Gouverneur.
