The Stade de France is the largest stadium in France. It can accommodate up to 81,338 seats for football or rugby matches. It is located north of Paris, in the Plaine Saint-Denis district. It was built by Michel Macary, Aymeric Zublena, Michel Regembal, and Claude Costantini, and inaugurated in 1998. The roof is the most impressive structure, with its elliptical shape weighing 13,000 tons, at a height of 46 meters.

The Stade de France hosts many sporting events (World Cup football, World Cup rugby), but also major shows (Ben-Hur) and concerts (Rolling Stones, Johnny Hallyday, Céline Dion, Tina Turner, Police, Muse, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Coldplay, Lady Gaga, Madonna)
