Metz-Nancy-Lorraine regional airport is situated between Nancy and Metz. There is a service of "navettes" (company Aerolor, price 7€) linking the airport and the center of Nancy and the train station, which takes about 35 minutes.
This airport mainly provides connections within France, but it can be use via connecting flights (e.g., there are regular flights to Paris).
