Stade de France, Seine-Saint-Denis

Located north of Paris, in Saint-Denis, the Stade de France is the country's largest sports stadium. Its 80,000-seat capacity, 25,000 of which can be configured as required, was a world first in 1997, the year it was built. Its innovative architecture makes it an exceptional structure. Its elliptic roof is one of its most striking features, but also one of the most complex to build. Built for the 1998 Football World Cup in France to replace the Parc des Princes, considered too small, the stadium was inspired by the American airline Pan Am's Worldport located at New York-John F. Kennedy International Airport. The elliptical-shaped building is topped by an elliptic disk supported by 18 18 steel masts 40 metres apart, an annex stadium, 2 underground parking lots on 3 basement levels with a total capacity of 4,000 vehicles, and a surface parking lot with 2,000 spaces. Since its inauguration in 1998, France's favorite stadium has hosted 630 exceptional events and over 40 million spectators.

In 2024, this venue hosted 45 sessions of the Olympic and Paralympic Games: eight rugby sevens sessions, 17 athletics sessions, 18 para-athletics sessions, as well as the two closing ceremonies. The scale of the work and improvements required to host the Games means that the stadium will be closed between the end of the Rugby World Cup in October 2023 and the start of the Olympic events on July 24, 2024. Including three concerts, three international rugby matches and a French soccer team match organized during the last four months of the year, a total of 2.75 million spectators were welcomed in 2024.
