PARC DE BRABOIS

Among the largest in France, the Brabois park offers an exceptional panorama of the entire Nancy area. This former French-style hunting park is the largest green space in the metropolis. Its 55 hectares provide an immense feeling of freedom in the heart of the Henri Poincaré technology park. The large geometrical axes that make up the layout of the park are oriented to attract the eye and movement. The beautiful alleys lined with beech trees lead to wild meadows, orchards or vast clearings, far from the tumult of the city. Here, you can walk, cycle or ride a horse. The equestrian center of Nancy Brabois adjoins the park and a path reserved for riders allows to go around it. The wooded border along the park offers beautiful views of the surrounding landscape, such as the Montet castle or the Jean-Marie Pelt botanical garden. Near the castle, the romantic clearing, with its countless spring bulbs, offers a more intimate atmosphere. To the south, an experimental truffle farm has been set up. On the eastern slope, ornamental plantings recall the species dear to the artists of the Nancy School: boxwood, ginkgo, tulip trees, larches. To the north, the large meadow shelters pretty wooden huts with a breathtaking view of Maxéville and Laxou.
