Paris La Défense Arena, also known as Plenitude Arena, is an indoor multipurpose venue on the western edge of Paris. Its address is 99 Jardin de l'Arche, 92000 Paris, and the arena sits in Nanterre, in the Île-de-France region, close to the business district of La Défense.
What the arena is used for
The venue hosts a mix of sport and live music. Basketball, handball and volleyball games are played here, and the arena also stages concerts. For music, its capacity is roughly 40,000, while sports events accommodate around 10,000 spectators. That makes it one of France's largest indoor arenas.
The arena is also a key venue for the 2024 Paris Olympics, so it has a place in the city's recent sporting calendar as well as its everyday event schedule.
Planning a visit
A visit here is mainly about attending an event. If you are interested in a particular match or concert, check the programme for that date before you travel, since the arena's use changes with the season and the touring calendar.
