PARC DE BRABOIS

One of the largest in France, Brabois Park offers an exceptional panorama of the entire Nancy area.

This former French hunting park is the largest green space in the metropolitan area. At the heart of the Henri Poincaré technology park, its 55 hectares provide an immense sense of freedom. The park's geometric layout is designed to attract the eye and encourage movement. The beautiful
beech-lined avenues lead to wild meadows, orchards or vast clearings, far from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Here, you can walk, cycle or ride. The Nancy Brabois equestrian center adjoins the park, and a trail reserved for riders leads around it. The park's tree-lined borders offer beautiful views of the surrounding landscape, including the Château du Montet and the Jean-Marie Pelt botanical garden. Near the château, the romantic clearing, with its countless spring bulbs, offers a more intimate atmosphere.

To the south, an experimental truffle plantation has been set up. On the eastern slope, ornamental plantings recall the species dear to the artists of the École de Nancy: boxwood, ginkgo, tulip trees and larches. To the north, the large meadow is home to a number of attractive wooden huts, with a breathtaking view over Maxéville and Laxou.
