Place d'Alliance
A quiet small square east of Place Stanislas, with a central obelisk fountain commemorating the Franco-Austrian alliance, part of the World Heritage ensemble.
Place d'Alliance was also designed by Héré and completed in 1753. Its central fountain was sculpted by Paul-Louis Cyfflé, and the obelisk commemorates the 1756 alliance between France and Austria. Around the square stand 18th-century mansions in a uniform style, lined with chestnut trees. It draws far fewer visitors than Place Stanislas, so the atmosphere is peaceful. As one of the three World Heritage squares, it is about a 3-minute walk east of Place Stanislas and worth a quick look.
