Parc des Princes

The home ground of Paris Saint Germain, the capital’s leading football team, the Parc des Princes is one of Paris’ leading sports venues, and despite being overtaken in size by the Stade de France in 1998 (now home to the National football and rugby teams), it remains an iconic stadium. 
Built in 1972, the stadium turned heads with its striking, avant-garde design, the creation of architect Roger Taillibert, and 49,000-capacity grounds, making it the 4th largest stadium in the country. Originally serving as the finish line of the Tour de France and hosting FIFA World Cup games, UEFA Euro and Champions League finals, League Cup finals, and Latin Cup finals, the stadium has also been used as a music venue since the 1980s, hosting acts like Michael Jackson, the Rolling Stones, Muse and Green Day.
