Visitors also appreciate the modern amenities—easy-to-navigate concourses, plenty of food and drink options, and well-organized access points that keep entry flowing smoothly.
You’ll find the venue at 8 Bd de Bercy, Paris, France. The most straightforward approach is via Bercy station (Métro lines 6 and 14), followed by a short, well-signed walk to the entrances; drivers can also look for Arena-linked parking options depending on the event and availability.

Take the opportunity to stroll along the Seine before or after the event, explore the historic core around Île de la Cité, or plan a short route through the Louvre and the Tuileries Gardens.
