This week in the agenda

Château de Brabois stands in Villers-lès-Nancy (Meurthe-et-Moselle), in the Grand Est region of France. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The Brabois park, on the heights of Villers-lès-Nancy, occupies the site of a château that vanished after the French Revolution, leaving only a restored dovecote and one other building standing. Visitors mainly come for the 60-hectare wooded grounds, the Italian-style terraced garden developed with the French forestry office, and the wide view over the Nancy area. The site also holds an experimental truffle ground and a restaurant run by a social inclusion organisation supporting people with disabilities.
