About the location

Archives municipales

3 rue Henri Bazin, 54000 Nancy

Meurthe-et-Moselle
Grand Est

At the end of the 1960s, the archives were transferred to the current building, which is the former shoe factory Spire & Coblentz, dating back to the beginning of the 20th century.
The plant was established in a neighborhood that was becoming highly industrialized at the time, due to new means of communication, namely the canal and the belt railway. It stops its activity in 1935 but the building still bears traces of industrial architecture (glass roof, cast iron poles, fireplace, facade ...).
Today, the memory of the city and the treasures of archives are preserved there.
