Villa Majorelle
A landmark of Art Nouveau architecture in Nancy and the home of furniture master Louis Majorelle. Fully restored, its stained glass, ironwork and interiors are now open to visitors.
Villa Majorelle was built in 1901–1902 by Parisian architect Henri Sauvage for furniture designer Louis Majorelle. It was the first house in Nancy built as a complete expression of Art Nouveau ideals. Its exterior ceramics and wrought-iron balconies echo the colored glass windows by Jacques Gruber. The villa reopened to the public after restoration was completed in 2020, and visitors can tour rooms including the dining room and study. Advance timed-entry reservations on the official website are required. It is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. It is about a 10-minute walk from the Nancy School Museum, so the two are easy to visit together.
Opening hours
