“Can’t wait for 2023! “Can’t wait to try!” “Very nice project”… The visitors’ book at the entrance to the site swells with enthusiastic messages throughout the day. They sum up the feeling of Nancy residents and others who paraded this Saturday on the construction site of Nancy thermal, at the invitation of Greater Nancy, anxious to discover the main stages of the project.
A next day of visits is scheduled for Saturday, July 2. Unfortunately, a victim of its own success, the invitation has already filled up with reservations. “We will try to organize new ones, before delivery”, promises François Werner, vice-president of the Metropolis in charge of economic development.

Malo and Jade are among them and show a big smile.

It takes 25,000 € today to buy one in the sector. “And only a 450-space car park is planned for a reception capacity at Nancy Thermal of one million entries per year… “The city is considering to requalify the site, in particular to develop more soft mobility and nearby bus stops,” wants to reassure Sophie Maurand, Nancy Métropole thermale project director.
Retired for a year, Chantal, a neighbor, watches the progress of the work every day. “I’m thinking about my future cures…”, laughs the lady, also under the spell. Just like Nadine and Guillaume, inhabitants of the old town, “not usually very swimming pool” but completely enthralled by what is taking shape here…
