Nancy - Triumphal Arch

Adjoining the Musée des Beaux-Arts is a triumphal arch, erected in honor of Louis XV in 1757, which leads into the Place de la Carrière. At the near end of this square are two palaces of 1715 and 1753, followed by a series of town houses of uniform design. At the far end of the square are two richly decorated semicircular colonnades preceding the handsome Palais du Gouvernement (1760).
