We stopped in Nancy for lunch on our way to Annecy. We had lunch at the beautiful Brasserie L'Excelsior, stopped at Lefevre-Lemoire to buy a red tin of the famous Bergamotts of Nancy. (in the film, Amelie. she pulls a LL tin hidden in a wall) We walked about at Place Stanislas after passing through the beautiful gilded wrought iron gates and stopped at one of the many cafés for a pastis. Famous for it's art nouveau is the Musée de L'Ecole de Nancy. On the way we also stopped in Commercy at famed F. Grogain to buy the oval wooden box of A La Cloche Lorraine, the Madelaines de Commercy. When I have devoured my Proust moments, I save these boxes. One my shoe shine kit, another my sewing kit, and they now become my Proustian moments.
