Guide

Approach and anchoring

Stopping forbidden along this bank. Mud bottom. Port de Nancy lies 0.7 nm north, Quai de Sainte-Catherine 0.8 nm north.

Practical

A mooring ring by the entrance of the large Auchan supermarket allows a brief tie-up, useful only for a quick shop or to jerry-can fuel from the filling station. It is not a place to lie for the night.

Ashore

From Port de Nancy, the Place Stanislas is roughly 1 km on foot. The square was built under Stanislas Leszczynski between 1751 and 1755 and is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list since 1983.
