Zénith Paris, Indoor concert arena in La Villette district, Paris, France
The Zénith de Paris features a modular layout that adapts from 2,200 to 9,000 people capacity with various seating configurations for different events.
Commissioned by French Minister of Culture Jack Lang in 1984, this venue replaced the Hippodrome de Pantin as Paris's primary destination for touring rock bands.
The venue established a network of similarly designed concert halls across France, creating a standardized format for music performances throughout the country.
Located at 211 Avenue Jean Jaurès, the arena connects to central Paris through Porte de Pantin metro station on line 5 and multiple bus routes.
The structure, initially planned as temporary for three years, became permanent due to its success and now hosts 150 events annually for 700,000 spectators.
