Description

The Arènes de Lutèce (Paris's former name) are listed monuments that you can visit for free on any day. These arenas, situated in the Latin Quarter and built between the 1st and the end of the 2nd century, were able to hold up to 15,000 people. Originally, they were 132 m long by 100 m wide. Visitors can still see the site where the actors stood, the stage platform and lapidary parts. The Arènes de Lutèce and the Thermes de Cluny (at the Musée de Cluny) are the only remains of the Gallo-Roman period that are still visible in Paris today.
