This Gallo-Roman amphitheatre was built in the century and rediscovered in 1869 during the construction of the Rue Monge.
The city of Paris was built on the ruins of Lutetia, a trading city of the Roman Empire. This rare Gallo-Roman amphitheatre was built in the 1st century and rediscovered in 1869 when the Rue Monge was excavated. At the time, the idea of destroying it was put forward, but many prominent figures of the time, including Victor Hugo, fought to have the monument saved and restored. This was achieved in 1910. Sitting on the bleachers, you can almost hear the sound of the gladiators' weapons clashing and the fervour of the crowd.

Incroyable de découvrir des arènes en plein coeur de Paris derriere des immeubles hausmaniens... un des rares vestiges du Paris romain (avec le musée de moyen âge des thermes de cluny) si vous êtes dans le coin n'oubliez pas de vous arrêter.
