University in a nutshell

Saint-Étienne is located less than 1 hour away from Lyon, the capital of the region renowned for its historical and architectural landmarks and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Saint-Étienne is only 2 hours 50 from Paris, 2 hours from the main winter resorts of the Alps and their breathtaking downhill ski slopes. The beaches of Marseille and Montpellier are only 3½ hours away, and the Drôme Provençale, one of the loveliest French regions, a 1 hour 30 drive from Saint-Étienne.
Situated only a stone’s throw from the Pilat Regional Natural Park, the Forez mountains and the gorges of the River Loire, Saint-Etienne is lucky to be close to the countryside and still able to offer everything that can be expected of a major cultural centre.
