Stade Marcel Picot is a football stadium in Nancy, in north-eastern France. Its address is on Boulevard Jean Jaurès in Tomblaine, on the edge of the Nancy area, so it sits just outside the historic centre rather than in it.
For many years the ground has been the home of AS Nancy-Lorraine, the city's professional football club. With a capacity of roughly 20,000 spectators, it has hosted top-flight matches over several decades, and for supporters of the club it remains the place where the season is lived out on match days.
What a visit offers
Visiting the stadium is most rewarding on a matchday, when the atmosphere of a French football crowd is at its fullest. Going to a game is the clearest way to see the ground in use, and it suits anyone interested in the city's sporting life as much as in football itself.
Around the stadium
- Nancy itself, with its historic centre and town life, is a short journey away.
- The wider Lorraine region offers further places to explore during a stay.
- Match tickets, timings and access arrangements are best checked with the club before you travel.
Stade Marcel Picot will appeal most to football fans and to visitors who want to experience a local club's home ground while exploring Nancy.
