Rue du faubourg des Trois-Maisons

Rue du Faubourg des Trois-Maisons is a street in Nancy that extends through the city with a mix of residential buildings and local shops. The road features structures spanning different periods, creating a varied streetscape that reflects how the city has grown over time.

The street's name comes from an old village destroyed in the late 1500s, with only three houses surviving the destruction. These remaining buildings gave the street its name and became the reference point for the area as it developed later.

The street name preserves memory of an old settlement that once stood in this location. Today, residents and visitors experience a blend of historical heritage and everyday urban life along its path.

The street is easy to walk through and sits in a residential neighborhood accessible during typical city exploration. A visit works well alongside other Nancy destinations, as it sits in a central part of the city.

A cemetery from 1732 sits along this street, marking the lasting presence of the community in this location. The burial ground was renovated several times over the following centuries, showing how the neighborhood remained important to residents.
