Parc des Princes
Parc des Princes is Paris's football stadium, located in the 16th arrondissement near the Bois de Boulogne. Three venues have stood on this site since the late 19th century, with the current one dating from the 1970s and recognisable by its curved concrete structure designed by Roger Taillibert.
Today the stadium hosts the resident club's matches and retains a distinctive architecture, with fan-shaped vaults visible from outside. The atmosphere is especially intense on match nights. Visitors can walk around the stadium outside match days to appreciate its outline without the crowds, or otherwise book tickets well in advance for a match.
