Anim'Est at the Centre Prouvé: Japanese and pop culture in Nancy
In 5 days
On 14 and 15 November 2026, the Anim'Est convention comes to the Centre de Congrès Prouvé in Nancy. Two days of activities devoted to Japanese and pop culture, with around a hundred exhibitors: artists, specialist shops and cosplayers.
What's on
For a whole weekend, Anim'Est brings together fans of Japanese and pop culture for a varied range of activities. The full programme is available on the convention's official website.
The exhibitors
Around the Centre Prouvé, you will come across around a hundred exhibitors: artists, specialist shops and cosplayers.
The Centre Prouvé, steps from the station
The Centre de Congrès Prouvé stands on Place de la République, steps from Nancy's railway station. Opened in 2014, it bears the name of Jean Prouvé, a major figure in design and metal construction born in Nancy. Its vast, flexible halls host trade fairs, congresses and conventions: a spacious, light-filled setting designed for the flow of visitors — ideal for an event like Anim'Est, which brings together many stands and attendees. Its location, a few minutes' walk from the station, makes it very easy to reach.
A pop and manga weekend in Nancy
Beyond the convention aisles, the weekend is a chance to discover Nancy. From the Centre Prouvé, Place Stanislas and the Old Town are a quarter of an hour away on foot, a nice break between signing sessions. As the convention is held right by the station, staying in this area means you can arrive by train and drop your bags with no extra transport. An apartment near the station — like those offered by Staylaro — makes a handy base for enjoying both festival days and the city.
