LES ARÈNES DE LUTÈCE
4 rue des Arènes, 75005 Paris
The Arènes de Lutèce, located in Paris’s 5th arrondissement, are the remains of a Roman amphitheater dating back to the 1st century.
Built during the time of Lutetia, the ancient Roman city that became Paris, it could hold up to 15,000 spectators for gladiatorial games and public performances.
Today, it serves as an open-air archaeological site, surrounded by a peaceful garden, providing a unique glimpse into antiquity in the heart of the French capital.
