Lycée Montplaisir

Lycée Montplaisir is a private school under contract located in Valence, in the Drôme department. Known for the breadth of its offerings — general track, technological and vocational streams, and higher education — it hosts several post-secondary programs within a single urban campus.

The DN MADE Animation

Its most recognized track in the artistic field is the DN MADE mention Animation, a national diploma at bachelor's level (bac+3) recruited via Parcoursup. The program covers the fundamentals of drawing and visual storytelling, 2D and 3D animation, storyboarding, character design, editing and sound, with a pedagogy structured around projects and internship periods. As in all DN MADE programs, the three years follow a progression of discovery / deepening / refinement, with a dissertation and a diploma project at the end of the course.

A favorable regional anchoring

The location in Valence is a notable asset: the metropolitan area hosts an animation film ecosystem recognized in France, built around studios, production structures, and specialized training programs located at the Pôle Image. This environment facilitates professional encounters, outside speakers, and access to a network of internships.

To verify before applying

The detailed content, expected drawing skills, selection procedures (application file, possible interview or portfolio) and tuition fees — the institution being private — should be confirmed directly with the school and on the current year's Parcoursup listing.
