The arena used to be called Paris La Défense Arena; it was renamed Plenitude Arena (site plenitudearena.com). See the venue page and the La Défense guide. For business-style stays: La Défense business hotels; for Paris: hotels on the Champs-Élysées.

Getting there

  • Metro line 1: La Défense station.
  • RER A: La Défense or Nanterre-Préfecture.
  • RER E: Nanterre-La Folie or La Défense Grande Arche.
  • Tram T2: La Défense stop. Transilien L and U: La Défense station.
  • The venue asks fans to favour public transport and check timetables in the Île-de-France Mobilités app. Evening works can disrupt RER A and RER E on concert nights.

The trip back after the show

  • To return to Paris: La Défense, Metro 1 or RER A. For Saint-Germain-en-Laye, Cergy or Poissy: Nanterre-Préfecture (RER A).
  • Everyone leaves at once: wait 20 to 30 minutes or walk to another station.
  • For a late show, keep the Noctilien night bus or a ride-hailing car as a backup. See also Metro and RER.
