Nancy port de plaisance closed from 01/10/26 to spring '27

Good news that this scruffy marina is to be improved. Far too many long stayers with boats that are never likely to cruise again. It is such a beautiful city, it deserves more visitors specially ones visiting by boat.
The other basins are underutilised but there's no suggesting that visitors will be able to stop there for a day or two. But if "spring 2027" means April or mid-May and this is achieved, all good.
Another nice place to moor up while visiting the city is the disused lock chamber just to the east of the city. Slightly precarious pedestrian access down a very narrow wall but quiet, safe, free, and shaded by a weeping willow tree.
