Nancy doesn’t have many large parks to boast of, but for those in the Haussonville – Blandan – Donop area southwest of Nancy center, Parc Sainte-Marie de Nancy is a good option. This park is defined by its lush gardens, built for the International Exhibition of Eastern France in 1909. There are numerous wide asphalt paths cutting through the park, including a perimeter loop of 1 km. Run several laps for a good workout.

There are paved paths along a good deal of the Meurthe River where it flows through Nancy. We’ve mapped a centralized 3.6 km tour, with an extension to Champigneulles. Nice water views a good part of the way.
More waterfront running can be found along the canal that runs through Nancy parallel to the Meurthe River. The marina/Jardin d'Eau is the best section. Extend for 4 km north of Nancy, or for as much as 15 km southwest to Messein on paved paths.
Beautiful square park in the center of Nancy. Run the 1.8 km perimeter path, explore the interior Allees, or venture through the city to see historic and tourist sights.
This large park on the southwest border of Nancy has beautiful gravel lanes and trails through the woods. Easily connects to Jardin Botanique Jean-Marie Pelt for a loop of up to 6.3 km.
Sprawling green park with rose gardens and asphalt paths, located in Vandœuvre-lès-Nancy south of the city. A perimeter loop is 2 km.
Forêt Domaniale de Haye (west of Nancy) and Forêt Domaniale de la Reine/Lorraine Regional Nature Reserve (northwest of Nancy) are large public forests with a number of running routes to choose from.
Use any of these bike paths to connect to our routes, or run them as out and back options. Most are more utilitarian than scenic.
