Tips & Advice
- Arrive at your designated pick-up point at least 15 minutes before the scheduled departure time to ensure a smooth start to your journey.
- Consider bringing a small, lightweight bag for purchases from the Nancy market, as space in the bus's overhead compartments is limited.
- While the tour focuses on history and literature, allow ample free time to fully enjoy the festive atmosphere and culinary offerings of the Nikolausmarkt.
- Carry both your passport and ID card, and keep them separate, as they may be required for border crossings or identification purposes.
- If you have specific dietary needs or preferences, be sure to inquire about the availability of options at the market stalls in Nancy.
