African Safari ... In Nancy?

We stopped over for a night in Nancy on our drive from Paris to Bavaria just so that we could eat our petit déjeuner the next morning in the city's gilded Place Stanislas, one of France's World Heritage sites.

But as we started walking from our hotel right off the Place to the courtyard cafe, we felt less like we were strolling down a cobblestoned street in Lorraine, France and more like we were embarked on a walking safari in Mpumalanga, South Africa.

The shop windows were filled with ...














Zebras ...

Elephants ...

An orange leopard ...

Even some pastel guinea fowl ...

It was wild!
