An exceptional living environment

Jean Monnet University is located in the heart of Saint-Étienne, a city of 170,000 inhabitants.

A city on a human scale specialising in design, Saint-Étienne offers a sense of community in everyday life that makes it easy to forge links and connections.  Beyond its urban life, the city also offers direct access to nature: the Pilat Regional Park, the Gorges de la Loire and the surrounding Monts du Forez form a magnificent green belt, ideal for sport and outdoor leisure activities (water sports, hiking, numerous sports facilities, a natural setting for summer and winter sports)!

Saint-Étienne is situated in the heart of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, 45 minutes from Lyon (France’s second-largest city), at the foot of the Alps and the Auvergne volcanoes, and less than three hours from the Côte d’Azur and Paris. Saint-Étienne is also at the heart of Europe, close to Switzerland and Italy in particular.

A vibrant student life
