Positives:

  • Small-group interaction: The guided tour groups are under 20 people, making it easy to chat with fellow travelers.
  • Complimentary strolls: Public areas around the stadium and basilica are free and open any time.

Challenges:

  • Suburban location: Saint-Denis is outside central Paris; allow 20 min on RER B and factor in metro connections.
  • Event-day security: Large matches and concerts have extra checks. Arrive 30 min early to pass through gates.

The atmosphere was spectacular and the French crowd was so vocal and supportive of their team. The best stadium I've had the fortune to visit. Alcohol not being sold during a sporting event was definitely a massive improvement over other stadiums.

Great location and easily ac...

Took my two girls to see Stray Kids and was pleasantly surprised by how well organized the venue was. Everything is clearly marked so we knew exactly which entrance to go to. There was no line even thought we were there within the hour of the performance. The staff were very helpful and approachable. I had sent my girls their tickets and had them enter first. And when it was my turn, my ticket kep...

It was my first experience of visiting such a large stadium and it was incredible. Linkin Park's concert was great! The toilets and water stands were easy to get to. During the show, security poured water for people in the front rows and there were fans running, so in the intense heat it was comfortable to jump around to your favorite songs.

Even with massive crowds, entering and exiting via the metro was surprisingly smooth, both before and after the event. From the electrifying atmosphere to...
