Enjoy also the straw huts by the lake, a beach restaurant, bars with rooftop terraces and on stilts, feet in the water, ideal for relaxing on fine sand!

The former and legendary Velodrome Stadium has now been replaced by the Orange Velodrome. It is difficult to recognize the old structures of the previous stage, renovated twice, for the 1998 World Cup and the 2016 Euro. The structure is impressive and its capacity of 67,394 spectators makes it the second largest stadium in France. It obviously hosts OM matches, with the current achievements of the players who succeeded Waddle, Boli and Papin. OM fans will have an unforgettable moment of fervour on game nights. In addition to the OM, the stadium sometimes also hosts rugby matches of the Toulon neighbour of the RCT, international football or rugby matches as well as concerts. The new Le Prado shopping centre now makes it a fully-fledged living space, and the stadium is also intended to host seminars and private events. Much more than just a stadium, the Orange Velodrome perpetuates the legend of the Velodrome.

Located in the 16th district on the Paris ring road, Parc des Princes welcomes Paris-SG since 1974. Although opened for the first time on June 18th, 1897, it is in 1972 that the architect Roger Taillibert built the new wall instead of outdated stadium-cycle-racing track of Parc des Princes. This setting, considered by many as the noisiest stadium of the hexagon, was also the playground of the French team until the construction of the stade de France in 1998. The lawn of the Park welcomed two Euro in 1960 and 1984, a football world cup in 1998 and two of Rugby in 1991 and 2007. As for clubs, three finales of C1 were played here (1956, 1975.1981), two of C2 (1978, 1995) and one of the C3 (1998).

In order to make a beautiful reception with the Euro 2016, the Park renovated its enclosure: lawn, cloakroom, bench of touch. The seats also underwent a face lift since they raise from now on the colors of the French flag as well as the symbol of the Hexagon: the Eiffel Tower.

Inauguration: June 4th, 1972.

Capacity: 48,712 seats.

Crowds: 49,575 spectators on 2nd March, 1983 for Paris-SG- Watersheï in C2.

Flagship and emblem of the region, the Bollaert-Delelis stadium, all in white, rises in the heart of the mining basin like a phoenix rising from its ashes. Built in 1932, this stadium has been given a facelift and has seen a lot for Euro 2016! It bears the name of two personalities who have marked the history of the city. Félix Bollaert, director of the Compagnie des Mines de Lens and André Delelis, mayor of the city from 1966 to 1998, who allowed Lens to become the owner of its stadium. Today, it can accommodate up to 38,000 people.

At the heart of OL Vallée, Groupama Stadium is the third largest stadium in France, with a capacity of 59,186. Easily accessible via the eastern ring road (10,000 parking spaces) and with a tramway station (T7) at the stadium's doorstep, it hosts Olympique Lyonnais matches (men's and women's), as well as numerous events such as concerts by top international artists (Coldplay, Rammstein or Taylor Swift in 2024). Hotels, catering integrated into the stadium, OL the Museum and OL boutiques. An extraordinary stadium to visit.

For 1h30, your guide will tell you all about the history of this emblematic site. The stadium is accessible by bus and streetcar.

An exceptional stadium in the heart of the city, a magnificent facility with multiple uses. Inaugurated in 2008, the Stade des Alpes is one of the last large stadiums built in France. Its undeniable architectural beauty is largely due to its transparency. Like a glass cradle with a capacity of 20,000 spectators, it allows natural light to pass through its immense glass roof (sunset at the Stade des Alpes is a highlight). It hosts the rugby players of FC Grenoble, Grenoble Foot 38 or other national and international sports events, but also concerts. Possibility of renting beautiful rooms.

The name of the district in which it was built, the Moustoir, also called Stade Yves-Allainmat, will be renovated in 1998 for the historic accession of the FC Lorient in the first division. In 2010, a new south gallery was released, but it was at the beginning of the 2010-2011 season that the Moustoir will be talking about him by becoming the first place in the country to have a synthetic lawn. New expansion projects are planned for the end of 2012 or early 2013 in order to meet UEFA standards and with a reception capacity of 22 000 spectators.

Inauguration: July 1959.

The only stadium in France to feature a retractable roof, the 50,000-seat Pierre Mauroy complex is incredibly multifunctional. Since its inauguration, matches, shows, concerts and other events have followed one another. Among the many events hosted by the Arena, some are particularly renowned: the Davis Cup, the Euro basketball tournament and the Indochine Central Tour. In 2023, the Rugby World Cup once again thrilled the stadium. This year, the handball and basketball matches of the 2024 Olympics will take over.

With its rounded architecture designed by Jean-Michel Wilmotte, its 131x73 m pitch and its 45,000 seats, the Allianz-Riviera stadium is the place for sports meetings and events.

The inauguration of the LDLC Arena in Décines does not mark the end of the mythical Astroballe venue, home to the exploits of our favorite basketball team: LDLC Asvel. This 5,500-seat venue, built over 25 years ago in Villeurbanne on the edge of the ring road (easily accessible by all means of transport), will continue to host Betclic Elite championship matches for the team led by Tony Parker. This historic venue will no longer host Euroleague matches relocated to the new Arena de Décines, but it will continue to vibrate - with a 4-year lease extension - with its fans. Other sports could well complete the offer.

The stadium Marcel Craft owes his name in memory of a player whose tragic accident entered the history of the club. Craft died on 24 September 1937 after a violent plaquage in front of Oyonnax.

Nicknamed the purple cauldron, the encounters are now more happy, especially during the last season that saw the club finish Federal 1 champion and validate its ticket for Pro D 2.

Capacity: 11 400 places.

Once the HQ of LOSC, the Stadium Nord Lille Métropole is now home to other Lille sports teams, such as rugby and athletics. Its 18,500 seats enable a large audience to attend matches in these disciplines all year round.

At the same time, its 400 m² of surface area hosts a wide range of events, including concerts, seminars, conferences and social events organized by and for local associations. In short, a stadium as versatile as its players!

Owned by the Hauts-de-Seine département for the past twenty years, the Stade Yves-du-Manoir is a legendary venue for French sport, where many a feat has been accomplished. Here, soccer, rugby and athletics have perpetuated the stadium's glory with over 200 international matches. It was the venue for the 1924 Olympic Games, the 1938 World Cup Final and the Coupe de France finals between 1924 and 1971... The stadium is now getting ready for the 2024 Olympics, and more specifically for the field field hockey matches, which is why it is undergoing major renovation work.

This is France's largest indoor football centre. 5 000 m 2 of synthetic turf land (last generation please!) or six fields for football to five. The complex also includes an air-conditioned bar from which sports events on giant screen and a restaurant can be found after sport. There are also championships, tournaments and entertainment for children in summer or birthdays.

The stadium, which has existed since 1922, was updated 100 years later to become a genuine urban sports park. It is organized around a central hub dedicated to athletics, soccer and rugby, with a 1,500-seat grandstand. One section is reserved for a tennis club, while another is dedicated to basketball, 5-a-side soccer, beach volleyball, tennis and field hockey. A skate park, a pétanque area, ping-pong tables, a running track, two fitness areas, an omnisports hub and a playground complete the complex.
