I got tickets with my wife to see Paris St.-Germain play Bordeaux, the top two teams on the table that season. This is something I would never have missed nor will I repeat it. It is on the west side of town near Bois de Boulongne. It is a very lovely stadium of 45000.
I was surprised by a few things. The food at Parc des Princes was (drumroll, please), hot dogs and coke. The fanatics (known as "ultras") tend to be in the end zones. Singing, chanting, flares, nobody there sits the entire game. There are iron fences between seat sections and a moat around the playing field. It didn't take long to figure out why.
At the half, I saw police out of the corner of my eye. They were swinging clubs. Apparently, a band of ultras from Paris and the ones from Bordeaux were taunting each other and then the fights started. From the far end of the stadium, ultras who were at the wrong end would jump into the 10-foot deep moat then help each other out onto the pitch, then do it again in front of the visitors section.
Needless to say, we left early so as to miss the ultras on the metro.
If you are your American wide-end, you won't like the seats. They could handle about two-thirds of my butt. My wife contributed some room, but I buddied up with the guy next to me who switched back and forth from cigarettes to cigars. Leave a Comment

We were at the France V Ireland football match and I have to say the stadium was excellent, our seats were fantastic!
We should have won too.
The metro/train service leaves you more or less at the door step of the stadium and it's clearly marked what stop to get off at. Leave a Comment Theme: Sports Watching

 The tour guide by gordonilla
Tours are conducted in French, but there are dedicated tours which are given in English. (During peak season 10.30 and 14.30) The stadium is accessible for wheelchair users too!
The stadium also boasts a museum which highlights the stadium from it's contsruction to the present day.

I visited the stadium when Manchester United played LOSC Lille Metropole here in a Champions league game. Unfortunately United lost.
An excellent stadium though with an all seater capacity of 80,000. Opened in January 1998. It can be seen on your bus journey into the city centre from CDG airport.
