Brabois Park

Among the largest in France, Brabois Park offers exceptional panoramic views of the entire Nancy metropolitan area. This former French-style hunting park is the largest green space in the city. Its 55 hectares provide an immense feeling of freedom in the heart of the Henri Poincaré technology park. The park's main geometric axes are oriented to attract attention and encourage movement. Beautiful avenues lined with beech trees lead to wild meadows, orchards, or vast clearings, far from the hustle and bustle of the city. Here, walks, bike rides, or horseback riding are popular. The Nancy Brabois equestrian center borders the park, and a trail reserved for riders allows them to explore its perimeter. The wooded edge of the park offers beautiful viewpoints overlooking the surrounding landscape, such as 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 orchard has been established. On the eastern slope, ornamental plantings evoke the species favored by artists of the Nancy School: boxwood, ginkgo, tulip trees, and larches. To the north, the large meadow shelters charming wooden cabins with breathtaking views of Maxéville and Laxou.
