Synopsis

In the 1960s, when Paris decided to build its ring road, the city seized the opportunity to redesign the famous Parc des Princes stadium, giving it a bold new look. Architect Roger Taillibert, in charge of the project, sculpted the concrete and redefined the modern arena.

With its brutalist curves and vibrant stands, the Parc became a monument to sport and popular entertainment.

Its architecture still fascinates today.
