Place Stanislas, Nancy, France






We checked into our strange, drab accommodations feeling uncertain about our choice and headed off to the city center which Matt had read was supposed to be pretty neat.  And in fact it was pretty cool.  Apparently Nancy was the seat of the French government at one point.  The square continued the shades of white theme of the town but added gilding.  Lots of gilding.  And some fountains.  And on top of all that we ate dinner at one of the best restaurants and had the best food.  Ever.  We got the last table sitting out front and were still there when the rain started.  The awning helped a little but Matt ran back to the car for the umbrellas and we finished dinner scrunched together trying to keep dry.  And it was so good we didn't even care.
