Gare de Nancy-Ville - Nancy, France - Literary Sites on Waymarking.com

"Nancy-Ville station , formerly known as "Nancy-Saint-Jean" station, is a French railway station on the line from Noisy-le-Sec to Strasbourg-Ville ( Paris–Strasbourg ), located near the city center of Nancy , prefecture of the department of Meurthe-et-Moselle , in the Grand Est region.

Commissioned in 1852, it is located at the crossroads of major European axes : east - west (Paris - Vienne), and north - south (Luxembourg - Lyon - Marseille), but also at the heart of regional traffic in Lorraine (Moselle furrow / Vosges). The Orient-Express luxury train stopped there daily until 2002.

The arrival of the TGV-Est on June 10, 2007 increased the flow of travelers due to the reduction in travel time between Paris and Nancy from 3 hours to 1 hour 30 minutes. Marking the western boundary of the city centre, the station is at the center of the conurbation. Since its construction, it has suffered from its smallness. The lack of available space is especially penalizing at its northern exit, in the trench hosting the tracks towards Metz and Paris." (From Google Translate (visit link) )

Short Description: The only rail station in Nancy, France. Book Title: Why Brazil? First Year Published: 2002 Author's Name: Christine Angot Name of Waymarked Item: Gare de Nancy-Ville Location of Item: Gare de Nanvy-Ville More Information: "Why Brazil? is the mental journey of an author caught up in a love affair with a literary critic. Anti-mythology of love through the crudeness of its style, the work outlines an unvarnished relationship and returns to the relationship between the narrator's father, Pierre Angot, and the latter. The title is indeed taken from a letter written by Christine Angot's father and which serves as an epigraph to the novel: “Why Brazil? Maybe because it's a country whose wealth is all in the future, like you for whom the globe was destined."
