The “do you know” of the day. Do you know why the battle between Nancy and Metz is almost relaunched?

He didn't think that his little colored card was going to restart the old - battle… And yet.

In the city, his name is Alexis Carlier, he is an artist and a Parisian. Her stage name: Alcatela. What Kifer does: draws artistic maps, any type of map even, which he then posts on his social networks.

This Tuesday, December 3, after weeks of work, he published on his X and Instagram accounts a beautiful, original and unpublished map of Nancy, with the title: “I have just finished my drawing of Nancy, the real capital of Lorraine! »

It was a success: more than 800 likes on X and 43 comments; a hundred likes on Instagram…

Especially at dawn when we were returning from the evening and passed by Place Stanislas with the bright pink sky of dawn. »

But my friend and his friends told me that if the people of Metz were more chauvinistic it was for a reason and that the people of Nancy lived in a city without a soul. So it started off as a bit of a challenge/bet where I told him “you know what, I’m going to draw the two cities and release them the same week on the networks and we’ll see which drawing is more successful” . That way, we'll be fixed. I didn't expect so many fiery reactions…”
