Stade de France Tour

This Stade de France tour takes you to Saint-Denis, home of a prominent French sports icon that has hosted World Cup finals in both Football and Rugby.

Stade de France Tour

Legendary players such as Zinedine Zidane have showcased their talent at the Stade de France, the country's most famous stadium. The 80,000-seater venue was inaugurated in January 1998 with a match where 'les bleus' defeated Spain 1-0, with Zidane scoring the winning goal. Later that year, the French team won the Football World Cup on the same pitch, defeating Brazil 3-0. However, in 2016, they lost to Portugal 1-0 in the European Championship final. The stadium also hosted the controversial 2007 Rugby World Cup final where South Africa beat England.

In the Stade de France Museum, you can view artifacts from the 1998 World Cup, including shirts, signed balls, and a replica trophy. Visitors will enter the changing rooms used by legends like Zidane and Thierry Henry and may sense the presence of current stars such as Kylian Mbappé. The tour concludes in the stands, where you can view the presidential box and sit on the bench, feeling like a star of the game.
