Stade Marcel Picot, Football stadium in Tomblaine, France.

The stadium opened in 1926 as Stade du Parc des Sports du Pont d'Essey and received its current name in 1963 to honor a local figure. This renaming marked a significant shift in the venue's identity.
The stadium serves as the home ground for AS Nancy Lorraine, where fans gather regularly to watch their team play throughout the season. It holds an important place in the local sports community.
The location in Tomblaine is accessible by public transport, as bus routes connect the area to the broader region. Arriving early is wise on match days to find good seating, especially for important games.
In 1988, a benefit match took place here where Michel Platini organized a special gala celebrating football legends who appeared on the field together. This event remains one of the most memorable moments in the stadium's history.
