More Nancy Scenes

After Villa Majorelle we walked back toward the Place Stanislaus, taking in assorted sights, Art Nouveau and other, culminating with the incredible "skylight" at the Credit Lyonnais bank.

Block of Discord: at least three Art Decos, maybe a Nouveau, and
one Medieval

Across the street, no doubt: Art Nouveau; we are beginning to 
notice that Art Nouveau architecture in Nancy often seems to involve
some sort of pointy thing

In many cases, the Musee of the Nancy School has provided helpful
signage identifying the architect, sculptor, iron-monger; even the
original owner; and date

Sometimes the identity of the architect and sculptor
is built right in, as in Paris

Former home of newspaper; now a Starbucks; sic
transit, Gloria...

Bank of note

The Genin-Louis buidling; muy famoso

In some cases, just a vestige

And finally, the Credit Lyonnais bank building...

Just walk right in like you own the place or possibly
want to open a savings account and get a free toaster

Jacques Gruber's monumental, and monumentally beautiful,
skylight

Also did the cupola at Galeries Lafayette Haussmann

The bank employees occasionally look up from their
screens and smile at the poor tourists who don't get to
work in monumental Art Nouveau masterpiece
