Parc Sainte Marie à Nancy, Public garden in Nancy, France
Parc Sainte Marie is a public garden in the southwest section of Nancy with wide paths running beneath cedars, tulip trees, sequoias, and ancient oaks. The grounds cover around 7.5 hectares and provide different quiet areas for walking.
The garden originated on the grounds of Jesuit settlements founded in 1620 and was later transformed into a private pleasure garden. The city of Nancy acquired the site in 1904 and opened it to the public.
The pavilion from the 1909 International Exhibition still stands in the park and serves as a place to learn about regional plants and animals. Visitors can discover more about local nature while exploring the grounds.
The park opens daily at 6:30 AM and stays open until 8:00 PM in winter or 10:30 PM during summer. There is plenty of space for walking, and the park is easy to access if you keep its opening hours in mind.
The park honors notable figures like Émile Coué, Daniel Meyer, and respected gardener Victor Lemoine with monuments. These memorials recall people who shaped the life and history of the city.
