VILLE DE LUNÉVILLE

Lunéville is privileged to have on its territory a castle, nicknamed the little Lorraine Versailles. Built in the 18th century, it is at the heart of the history of Lorraine, but also of France and Europe.
Lunéville is home to other listed treasures: the church of Saint Jacques conceals an organ with hidden pipes that is unique in Europe, the Maison du Marchand is a remarkable building with a finely chiseled facade made of pink Vosges sandstone.
The synagogue is the first to have been built in France since the Middle Ages. Rue de Lorraine, the Italian-style theater and the Maison du Traité, where Joseph Bonaparte signed the treaty of Lunéville with Austria in 1801, are also among the curiosities to be discovered. The traces of an industrial past turned towards crafts are still very present. Temporary and thematic exhibitions on earthenware as well as the Conservatoire des Broderies are living witnesses of this period. As for gastronomy, two specialties, which are part of the French culinary heritage, were invented in Lunévile for King Stanislas: the baba au rhum and the bouchée à la reine.

Every year, regional and even national events are organized, including the Grasse Fair, Scènes en Selle, the Fête de l'Elevage, the Fête du Potimarron and the International Autumn Exhibition (paintings and sculptures). Exhibitions are held throughout the year, notably at the Château and in the museum space of the Hôtel abbatial.

Lunéville is listed as an "Internet City".
