The Arc Héré or Porte Héré is a triumphal arch in Nancy, France, located on the north side of the Place Stanislas. It was designed by Emmanuel Héré de Corny to honor King Louis XV and was built between 1752 and 1755. Its architecture is inspired by the Arch of Septimius Severus in Rome. The Arc replaced an older royal gate constructed under the rule of Louis XIV; three bas reliefs from the old gate are featured on the Arc.
