Location

The vieille ville (old town) is bordered by the porte de la Craffe in the north, and is crossed by the Grande-Rue from north to south. The quarter is adjacent to the nouveau centre-ville (new downtown). The northern end of place Stanislas marks its southern limit with that of the ville-neuve (new town).
