Shopping in Nancy

  1. A

    Lefèvre-Lemoine

    Ahhh, they just don't make sweetshops like this 1840s treasure anymore. A bird chirps a welcome as you enter this world of sugar-coated nostalgia. One of the old-fashioned sweet tins made a cameo appearance in the film Amélie. Bergamotes de Nancy (boiled sweets made with bergamot, the citrus fruit that flavours Earl Grey tea), caramels, glazed mirabelles (plums) – decisions, decisions…

    Maison des Sœurs Macarons

    When Nancy's Benedictine nuns hit hard times during the French Revolution, they saw the light in heavenly macaroons. They're still made to the original recipe (egg whites, sugar, Provençal almonds) at this old-world confectioner. A dozen box (€7) makes a great gift.

  3. Baccarat

    Shop like royalty (or window-shop like mere mortals) for exquisite crystal and jewellery here, where the simplest ring – impossibly delicate – goes for €150.

    Daum

    At Daum's flagship shop you can admire limited-edition crystal knick-knacks and jewellery, often with a naturalistic theme.
