Visiting Saint-Étienne
Saint-Étienne is a small city that sits partially within the Pilat Regional Park in the mountainous Auvergne-Rhone-Alps region. While many who visit Saint-Étienne are keen to immerse in the charming scenery of this particularly picturesque region, the city itself immerses crowds in a different kind of world – one of innovation and design. Saint-Étienne is an industrial city that was largely developed in the late 20th century, creating a thriving modern hub for creatives and forward-thinkers. The city is populated with museums that nod to its industrial and mining history, as well as its future as a centre for the emergence of research and creativity. See it all unfold at the incredible Cité du Design, the city’s creative quarter that is continually evolving with new exhibitions and research.
