RENAISSANCE DISTRICT

To see - To do / Visit / Places and monuments / Renaissance Quarter

Witness to the rich past of the former Duchy of Bar and Lorraine. The town of Bar-le-Duc invites you on a revealing tour of its "Ville Haute" district, one of the most remarkable urban complexes of the French Renaissance. Bar-le-Duc, labeled a "City of Art and History," conceals many precious vestiges of 16th-century architecture: chiseled pediments, fluted pilasters, and even overhanging gargoyles. So many sights that remind us of this place's prestigious past!
