RENAISSANCE DISTRICT

To See - To Do / Visit / Places and Monuments / Renaissance Quarter

A witness to the rich past of the old Duchy of Bar-in-Lorraine, the city of Bar-le-Duc invites you for a revealing visit to the district of its 'Ville Haute', one of the most remarkable urban complexes of the French Renaissance. Bar-le-Duc bears the label of 'City of Art and History' and conceals many valuable remnants of 16th-century architecture: carved pediments, fluted pilasters, and even overhanging gargoyles. So many sights that remind us of the prestigious past of this place!
