Just arrived in Nancy for university? Whether you're here for a semester abroad, an Erasmus exchange, a full degree, or an internship, one of the best parts of student life is discovering the city you now call home! ^^


Nancy is a beautiful city to explore, but after you've visited Place Stanislas a few times, found your favorite café and figured out your way to class, you might start wondering:

What else is there to do in Nancy?

One answer is to explore the city through one of France's greatest traditions: pâtisserie!


With French Pastry Tour Nancy, students get to discover Nancy in a fun, social and super delicious way—with a walking tour through the historic center, local stories and plenty of French pastries along the way—yum!


Looking for Something Fun to Do in Nancy?

Student life isn't only about lectures, exams and assignments. It's also about exploring your new city and making memories.

If you're new to Nancy, a pastry tour is a great way to get to know the city from a different perspective.

Instead of simply walking past buildings and monuments, you'll discover the stories behind them while exploring some of the city's food culture.


And unlike a traditional sightseeing tour, there is one important difference:

You get to eat the sights!! 0_o


Well... not literally. But you do get to taste some of the delicious pastries and specialties that make French food culture so famous.

Discover Nancy Beyond Place Stanislas

Let's be honest: you've probably already taken a photo in Place Stanislas.

It's beautiful, and you should absolutely keep taking photos of it. ;)

But Nancy has much more to discover.


The historic center is full of beautiful streets, architecture, cafés, shops and hidden corners. Walking through the city with someone who knows Nancy gives you the opportunity to notice details you might otherwise walk straight past.

A pastry tour is an easy way to combine sightseeing and discovering local food while getting to know the heart of Nancy.


You might even discover a new favorite place to return to with your friends!



Experience Real French Food Culture

One of the best things about living in France is having the opportunity to experience French food culture every day!

But what's the difference between a boulangerie and a pâtisserie? What's the story behind some of France's most famous pastries? Why are pastries such an important part of French culture? And what should you actually order when you walk into a French bakery?


This student tour gives you the opportunity to discover the answers while tasting your way through Nancy.

You'll discover French pastries and local specialties while learning more about the traditions and culture behind them.

A Great Activity for International Students

If you're an international student, exploring a new city can sometimes feel a little intimidating.

You might know your university, your student residence and a few bars or restaurants—but you haven't necessarily had the chance to experience Nancy like a true local.


Not to worry! A walking tour is a simple way to change that. ^^


It's relaxed, informal and gives you the chance to discover the city while meeting other people who are curious about French culture and food.


And if you're still learning French, it's also a fun opportunity to hear and use French in a real-life environment. Don't speak French? Tours are available in English too!


The Perfect Escape in Nancy


Looking for something to do on a Thursday?

Instead of spending another afternoon studying in the library, why not explore Nancy?

A pastry tour can be a great weekend activity with friends, classmates or other exchange students.

Come with your Erasmus group, invite someone from your class, or simply join the tour and meet people along the way.

It's also a fun idea when friends or family come to visit you in Nancy. Instead of taking them to the same places you've already shown everyone, you can introduce them to the city through its food!

Fall in Love With Nancy

Living somewhere is different from visiting somewhere.

As a tourist, you might spend two days in Nancy and see the main attractions.

As a student, you have months to discover the little things that make the city special.

The bakery you walk past every morning.

The beautiful street you never noticed before.

The pastry you've never tried.

The story behind a building you've walked past dozens of times.


Those are the discoveries that turn a place from somewhere you study into somewhere you feel at home. <3
