Project stakeholders
Greater Nancy
With the opening of Nancy Thermal.in spring 2023, Greater Nancy is making a major comeback in the circle of French thermal spa towns.
After a clinical study prompting the French National Academy of Medicine to issue a favourable opinion approving rheumatology in 2014, and four years of works, Nancy has reconnected with its thermal history dating back to the beginning of the 20th century.
Nancy Thermal embodies Greater Nancy's ambition to restore the pride of a modern and attractive thermal city. This new venture marks a new impetus for the attractiveness of the area with an identity focussed on wellness, a quieter pace of life, quality and local tourism.
Due to its exceptional location at the heart of Greater Nancy, Nancy Thermal benefits from the presence of the University of Lorraine, Nancy Regional University Hospital (one of the TOP 5 best hospitals in France), Lorraine Institute of Physiotherapy Training, health schools and private medical practitioners and healthcare professionals.
With this comprehensive thermal offering, Greater Nancy positions itself as the leader of an ecosystem which extends to the Greater Region of Europe, combining a host of political, economic, socio-professional stakeholders invested in developing the thermal dynamic and placing it into the DNA of the area.
