In Nancy, you can admire the most beautiful square in Europe: the Place Stanislas! Voted France's favourite monument in 2021, it is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site and it attracts many tourists every year.
Moreover, for music fans, l’Autre Canal is a must-see place. Every year, the city organises many concerts there: many French and international artists have already performed there. Rock, rap, hip hop, R&B: there is something for everyone!

The Coloc'ICN and the campus
Nancy is also synonymous with the coloc’ICN. The ICN apartment-shares are passed on from year to year, between students and members of the BDE (bureau des étudiants, a students’ association). They are spread throughout the city of Nancy and are real places of conviviality and festivities. In short, the ICN spirit reigns there all year round!
As for the campus, it is located in the Artem gallery. ICN’s neighbours are two major art and engineering schools: ENSAD (École Nationale Supérieure d'Art et de Design) and Mines Nancy. Finally, the Artem gallery is known for its colourful glassware that can be spotted from a distance, and Station A, a real place for educational innovations.
