Toul, a few minutes from Nancy, in the heart of the famous vineyards, with the Museum of History, and the former Episcopal Palace
The fourth-largest town in Meurthe-et-Moselle, Toul is about fifteen minutes from Nancy, and sits at the heart of the famous vineyards of the Côtes de Toul, a stopover on the Route des Vins and the Mirabelle wine route. First Gallic, then subject to the Romans, it was later ruled by the Franks. Governed by bishops from the 10th century onwards, it became a free city of the Holy Roman Empire, then occupied by Henry II in 1552 and officially annexed to France. The King of France installed a garrison and Toul was fortified in 1700 by Vauban and reinforced by Séré de Rivières. Although the town was not attacked in 1914, it suffered considerable damage during the Second World War. Today, it offers an attractive living environment and an interesting architectural heritage, such as the Cathedral of Saint-Étienne. The Musée d'Art et d'Histoire is also worth a visit, as are the fortifications and the Hôtel de Ville, a former episcopal palace. In any case, this lively and pleasant city is well worth a visit - especially in summer, to admire the magnificent son et lumière show that illuminates the town every evening.
