Stade de France: Behind-the-Scenes Tour, Prices, Hours and Getting There from Paris

Updated on October 7, 2026

The Stade de France, in Saint-Denis north of Paris, is France's largest stadium; it hosts football and rugby matches, concerts and major events. Outside event days, a 1.5-hour guided tour takes visitors into the changing rooms, the players' tunnel and onto the pitch, after a stop at the stadium museum. The adult ticket costs 18.50 euros and online booking is compulsory. It can be reached by RER B or D, or by metro lines 12, 13 and 14.

Highlights

The pitch and the stands

The tour gives access to the pitchside and lets you see the stadium from the field. The stands surround the playing area beneath the stadium's elliptical roof.

The roof ring

The suspended roof forms a large ellipse open above the pitch. It is one of the stadium's architectural signatures.

The stadium seen from the stands

From the seats, the view takes in the whole arena, which was reconfigured to host athletics at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. You can gauge the atmosphere of a match night here.
