Where Is the Olympic Stadium?

The Stade de France, located in the northern suburb of Saint-Denis, will serve as the Olympic Stadium. It is the country’s largest stadium and has hosted major sporting events for three decades, including the Rugby World Cups and the World Athletics Championships.

Where to Stay in Paris

Saint-Denis is just a twenty-minute train ride from Paris’s city center. For a residential pace, consider the 10th arrondissement, home to Canal Saint-Martin with boat rides and trendy restaurants and bars. For sightseeing, the 1st and 2nd arrondissements in the city center are the most convenient, though expect crowds.
