Vue perspective de la Carriere de Nancy du cote du Midi.

Vue Optic of the Place de la Carriere in Nancy looking towards Héré‘s Arc de Triomphe and Stanislas Place from the Palais du Gouverneur. The squares and surrounding buildings were commissioned by Stanisław I Leszczyński and designed by the royal architect Emmanuel Héré de Corny as a way of connecting the old medieval town of Nancy with the new town built under Charles III in the seventeenth century. It also linked the two existing handsome buildings, the Hotel de Ville and the Hotel de Gouvernement.
