The Parc des Princes stadium

It replaced the Velodrome which was built on this site in 1897 and renowned as the official finish line for the Tour de France. Parc des Princes was officially opened on 4 June 1972 by French president Georges Pompidou – and a year later became the home ground of the then young Paris Saint-Germain club.

Designed for ‘comfort’ and ‘visibility’ by Roger Taillibert, the stadium was widely praised at the opening and the architect received several awards for his avant-garde masterpiece. Parc de Princes will host UEFA Euro 2016.
