Nancy Ville

Introduction

Nancy City Station is located in the northeast of France, 352.631 km from the Paris-Strasbourg railway. It is an important railway transportation hub in this area, and many railways meet near Nancy. Before the construction of the French high-speed railway east line (LGV Est), Nancy was also the only way for Paris to travel to Strasbourg and southern Germany. Before 2002, the famous "Orient-Express" once stopped at Nancy City Station.

Nancy City Station is located in the middle of the city of Nancy, named after the city of Nancy. The station is generally north-south-west, with the main entrance opening to the northeast, and both sides can enter and exit.

Platform

The main building of Nancy City Station is spacious and airy, and is directly connected to stations 1, 9 and 13. To enter the platform No. 2-8, you need to pass a passenger passage under the rail. The passage can be connected to the main hall via stairs and elevators. There is also an escalator where arriving passengers can use the escalator to enter the station hall from this passage. Stairs and lifts provide access to passenger passages and stations 2-5.

This passage is also connected to another entrance/exit at the station on PlaceLéon, which is very convenient if your final destination/station is on the west side of the station. This entrance/exit of St. Leon Square is connected to the main passenger passage by escalators and elevators.

There is also an auxiliary passage under the rails, which can also connect stations 2-8 to the main station buildings on Thiers Square. However, this passage can only enter and exit the platform through stairs.

When arriving from Paris by TGV, the secondary passage is located in front of the train. If you have luggage, etc. and want to use the elevator, you may need to pass through the entrance of the passage to enter the elevator.

Luxembourg

Nancy may refer to:

Luxembourg ( LUK-səm-burg; Luxembourgish: Lëtzebuerg [ˈlətsəbuə̯ɕ] ; French: Luxembourg; German: Luxemburg), officially the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, is a landlocked microstate in western Europe. It is bordered by Belgium to the west and north, Germany to the east, and France to the south. Its capital, Luxembourg City, is one of the four official capitals of the European Union (together with Brussels, Frankfurt, and Strasbourg) and the seat of the European Court of Justice, the highest judicial authority in the EU. Its culture, people, and languages are highly intertwined with its neighbours, making it essentially a mixture of French and German cultures, as evident by the nation's three official languages: French, German, and the national language of Luxembourgish. The repeated invasions by Germany, especially in World War II, resulted in the country's strong will for mediation between France and Germany and, among other things, led to the foundation of the European Union.With an area of 2,586 square kilometres (998 sq mi), it is one of the smallest sovereign states in Europe. In 2019, Luxembourg had a population of 613,894, which makes it one of the least-populous countries in Europe, but by far the one with the highest population growth rate. Foreigners account for nearly half of Luxembourg's population. As a representative democracy with a constitutional monarch, it is headed by Grand Duke Henri and is the world's only remaining sovereign grand duchy. Luxembourg is a developed country, with an advanced economy and one of the world's highest GDP (PPP) per capita. The City of Luxembourg with its old quarters and fortifications was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994 due to the exceptional preservation of the vast fortifications and the old city.The history of Luxembourg is considered to begin in 963, when count Siegfried acquired a rocky promontory and its Roman-era fortifications known as Lucilinburhuc, "little castle", and the surrounding area from the Imperial Abbey of St. Maximin in nearby Trier. Siegfried's descendants increased their territory through marriage, war and vassal relations. At the end of the 13th century, the counts of Luxembourg reigned over a considerable territory. In 1308, Henry VII, Count of Luxembourg became King of the Germans and later Holy Roman Emperor. The House of Luxembourg produced four emperors during the High Middle Ages. In 1354, Charles IV elevated the county to the Duchy of Luxembourg. The duchy eventually became part of the Burgundian Circle and then one of the Seventeen Provinces of the Habsburg Netherlands. Over the centuries, the City and Fortress of Luxembourg, of great strategic importance situated between the Kingdom of France and the Habsburg territories, was gradually built up to be one of the most reputed fortifications in Europe. After belonging to both the France of Louis XIV and the Austria of Maria Theresa, Luxembourg became part of the First French Republic and Empire under Napoleon.The present-day state of Luxembourg first emerged at the Congress of Vienna in 1815. The Grand Duchy, with its powerful fortress, became an independent state under the personal possession of William I of the Netherlands with a Prussian garrison to guard the city against another invasion from France. In 1839, following the turmoil of the Belgian Revolution, the purely French-speaking part of Luxembourg was ceded to Belgium and the Luxembourgish-speaking part (except the Arelerland, the area around Arlon) became what is the present state of Luxembourg.Luxembourg is a founding member of the European Union, OECD, United Nations, NATO, and Benelux. The city of Luxembourg, which is the country's capital and largest city, is the seat of several institutions and agencies of the EU. Luxembourg served on the United Nations Security Council for the years 2013 and 2014, which was a first in the country's history. As of 2018, Luxembourgish citizens had visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 186 countries and territories, ranking the Luxembourgish passport 5th in the world, tied with Austria, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, the United Kingdom and the United States.
