We love this charming single-level holiday home because it encompasses the best of both worlds. Though it is situated near Nancy's centre, allowing guests to make the most of the varied shopping, dining, and cultural offerings therein, it also feels tranquil and secluded – due in part to the small wooded area at the rear of the property. There you will also find a seating area perfect for long summer evenings spent in the company of friends and family.

While the home's exteriors have a traditional French aesthetic typical of the Alsace-Lorraine area, step inside and you'll find cool and versatile interiors – think funky furniture, design-forward wallpaper, and quirky artwork adorning the walls. One of our favourite features has got to be the sleek shower rooms. Finished in a chic floor-to-ceiling grey marble, lending the room an upscale if somewhat trendy industrial feel, this space is perfect for a bit of pampering before a day – or an evening – spent exploring the highlights of Nancy.

From the Palais Ducal with its archetypal fairytale vibes to the beautifully ornate Basilique Saint-Epvre or the popular Parc de la Pépinière and its fragrant rose garden, not to mention the wealth of cultural attractions including the National Opera and the Fine Arts Museum, there is so much to fall in love with in and around the historic centre of this city. Best of all, it’s all within easy reach, thanks to the excellent transport links around this home.
