From the great Art Nouveau masters to some of the finest contemporary designers, its name has always been associated with the most brilliant creative artists. Daum Crystal Glassworks, still in Nancy in the street that bears its name, has successfully perpetuated its unique savoir-faire.

Around 1900, thanks to Art Nouveau and the many remarkable artists who formed the Ecole de Nancy, the city acquired a world-wide reputation. The School played a very active role in forging an alliance between art and industry. Following Émile Gallé’s lead, a whole generation of artists sought inspiration in plant-life and in science to best reinvent the decor of the city and that used in everyday life. Glassware, ceramics, furniture, wrought iron, book-binding, stained glass, sculpture and architecture - private houses, banks and shops in Nancy all give an excellent idea of the outstanding talent of these artists.

LE PARC DE SAURUPT In 1901, Jules Villard decided to create a garden estate in the city around his “chateau” in Art Nouveau style. The architects, Émile André and Henry Gutton, were commissioned to build this private park project, fenced in and with a gate-keeper. However, only seven of the original 100 buildings planned were actually built and sold. To relaunch the project, the villas were replaced by semi-detached houses which better satisfied market needs, and the park became part of the public domain.
