Paris - Palais Omnisport de Bercy

This "palace of all sports" at 8 Boulevard de Bercy (Michel Andrault and Pierre Parat, 1984) was built on the site of an old warehouse in Paris. This truncated pyramid has glass facades on a steel framework and contains three halls capable of being adapted for events of all kinds and equipped with the most modern technology. There are facilities for every kind of indoor sport, and for opera evenings and rock concerts up to 17,000 spectators can be accommodated. Thanks to computer-controlled technology and ultra-modern recording studios concerts and circus performances become an unforgettable experience.

The adjoining Parc de Bercy on the banks of the Seine is still in process of being laid out.
