The Arena Champ de Mars a breathtaking venue

Located between the Eiffel Tower and the École Militaire in the 7th arrondissement, the Champ de Mars takes its name from the Roman god of war (Mars) and is one of the largest green spaces in Paris, covering 24.5 hectares.

From 2021, a temporary structure called the Arena Champs de Mars will be built to complement the ephemeral Grand Palais (also known as the Stade Tour Eiffel), located on Place Joffre to the south of the site.
