If you’ve ever strolled through Fountain Square in the heart of Cincinnati, you already have a sense of the charm and civic pride that Place Stanislas brings to the city of Nancy, France. Much like Fountain Square, Place Stanislas serves as a vibrant gathering place—hosting festivals, concerts, and community celebrations, all set against a backdrop of stunning architecture and rich cultural history.
Both squares are central to their cities and symbolic of civic identity. While Fountain Square is crowned by the iconic Tyler Davidson Fountain, Place Stanislas dazzles with ornate gates, golden flourishes, and open-air cafés that invite locals and tourists alike to linger and connect.
This shared urban heartbeat between our sister cities is just one of many connections that highlight the spirit of friendship, culture, and community that define the Cincinnati-Nancy Sister City relationship.
