Three Squares in Nancy, France

THREE SQUARES IN NANCY (France)

Stanislaw I lived in the French city of Nancy when, after abdicating the throne of Poland, he became Duke of Lorraine. In the last 30 years of his life he devoted himself to science and philanthropy, founding an institute, a library, and more, and building three magnificent squares: Place Stanislas, Place de la Carrière and Place d'Alliance, all now inscribed on the UNESCO list.
