Stadiums and sports facilities Paris 16th 75016

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for the first time on June 18th, 1897, it is in 1972 that the architect Roger Taillibert built the new wall instead of outdated stadium-cycle-racing track of Parc des Princes.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.
