Sports fans of all ages will feel the palpable excitement that radiates from this magical place, located in Saint-Denis, just north of Paris. The Stade de France is, first and foremost, the legendary stadium associated with France's victory against Brazil during the 1998 FIFA World Cup.

Built to host matches for that international event, it has the largest capacity in France, with over 80,000 seats. Since its inauguration in 1998, its stands have vibrated to the rhythm of prestigious sporting events such as the Rugby World Cup in 2007 and 2023, the UEFA European Football Championship in 2016, and the Paris 2024 Olympic Games!

It is also an exceptional cultural venue that hosts concerts by the biggest names in music, with the Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Céline Dion, and Madonna leading the way.
