Arènes de Lutèce
This Roman arena, where wild beasts and gladiators once did battle, could accommodate 10,000 seated spectators. It was still visible as late as the reign of Philippe-Auguste in the 12th century, but then it disappeared under rubble. The site was rediscovered in 1869 and now incorporates a garden. These days, it also attracts skateboarders, football players and boules players.
