Will be in Paris for the first week of March. I will be attending the PSG-Nantes game. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I went to a PSG-Nantes game at Parc Des Princes in the fall two years ago.



It was a hell of a good time. Enjoy yourself. Take a stroll in the gift-shop. It's nice.

Hem, avoid to be too close to the Boulogne or Auteuil kop (i.e.stands) ; except if you want some "ambiance".

Take the subway (line 9, direction : Pont de Sevres, stop : Porte de St Cloud )

arrive with 30 mns in advance...


The Parc des Princes is located in the XVIth district, the bourgeoisie district...watch your manners !!

you're going to see a game against the weakest team of L1, so I guess you'll have a good time if you cheer for PSG

Don't buy a cheap seat. Otherwise, you could meet people you don't want to meet (except if you enjoy a good brawl with nazis, of course). PSG is still plagued by a few dozens of hooligans, making it the worst supporters in France. They are not that many, but it's still better to avoid them.

(1) check eBay for tix: I did, and got PSG-Lyon, Presidentielle, just to the left and two rows back from the bench, for a decent price (see thread and pics)

(2) get there early, if you take the Metro (which you should, b/c you won't get a cab out of there), be prepared for it to be crowded post-game (and with raucous and wonderful singing if PSG win!).

(3) Enjoy yourself; one of the best experiences in the world is Parc Des Princes when it's rocking...architecturally, the lighting is also excellent, and casts the least amount of shadows on the pitch...the stadium is quality, which is why (part of the reason why, at any rate) PSG, having had the option to move to the Stade de France, chose to stay.

Good luck.

Those were all great pics Mel........... My girl has an uncle that has lived in Paris and he will probably be dropping me off. I will take the metro home with hopefully some rowdy fans. He will also be taking care of tickets and will be going to see what he can obtain tomorrow. I hope they are not sold out, then I will probably scalp since I do not want to use Ebay.

How do you say I don't speak French but I do speak English and Spanish again?

Needless to say...I'm pretty excited...... I have always wanted to go to the Parc Des Princes

Sorry to tell you that but keep your money for Disneyland because the Parc won't sing anymore 'till Francis Graille and Larrue will be there and because the team sucks...
