Every year, this urban event allows you to visit free of charge sites in Nancy that are usually closed, such as the Brasseries de Maxéville. It is also an opportunity to enjoy museums (Villa Majorelle, École de Nancy, Beaux-Arts), religious buildings (the Basilica of Saint Epvre or the cathedral), the Opera of Lorraine or the city hall. The Governor's Palace organizes conferences and lectures. The Heritage Days are the highlight of the year for sharing and discovering Nancy's culture. Take advantage of them!

Since 1994, the Gérardmer International Fantastic Film Festival has been thrilling audiences with films based on the unreal, the marvelous and horror. It's a film genre that's found its audience, who turn out in droves to enjoy the scares. The festival's atmosphere is perfectly in tune with the surrounding landscapes of snow-covered fir trees and frozen lakes. But if the chills are present in the darkened halls, the atmosphere is joyful and particularly festive. Each year, the jury is made up of well-known personalities, and tributes are organized for the masters of the genre. The festival offers all kinds of screenings, as well as symposia, exhibitions and events... Its aura extends throughout the region, and during this period cinemas in Metz and Nancy offer a special "fantasy films" program.
