Stanislas "Garden"

Stanislas statue stands alone in the center of a large and empty square.

Beautiful!

Sometimes, people decide to embellish the square, and an artificial garden is displayed around the statue.

Still beautiful!

But... come closer! Look at the garden! What do you see? Grass, flowers and... glass! Lots of elements in glass, mixed with the natural flowers combine perfectly and remind us that Nancy is a must in glass art.

Great!

Painters

We know that Nancy is a landmark in arts, but we were not expecting to see painters around, as seen in Paris. It happened in the garden called "La Pepiniere".

A very old man (more than one hundred years) approached us, identifying himself as Claude Oscar Monet (never heard!), and asking permission to paint us.

We had no much time, and posing under the rain was not the best idea, so we turned our back and tried to move away.

He insisted and in a couple of strokes painted something.

Na! I think that Monet has no future! Do you agree?
