Arènes De Lutèce

Unclaimed

This old roman amphitheater turned into public garden is an amazing place to come relax in the heart of paris, read a book or have a bite. I also got to people watch french people and families playing and having their noon breaks. A nice clash of history and nature. It is free of charge.

Hidden in the middle of the neighborhood is this ancient roman amphitheater, now a beautiful public garden. The place is now perfect to relax, eat a snack, have a picnic, etc. You just can imagine back in time gladiators fighting in the arena, wild beast and all the roman entertainment at the time. Now, you can play with your kids, and have a really nice time.

The way it looks today is quite different, of course, big arena where people gather to play petanque. Some more info would be nice.

What a great way to touch ancient Paris (Lutece). I love the way this place is used for now. Children play, elder people rest here.

I went to sit and relax on a warm Sunday afternoon I enjoyed watching children kicking footballs and the games of pétanque. There are also concerts and other events in the evening, but I have not attended any of them yet.
