Stade Jean-Bouin

Stade Jean-Bouin is a sports ground in the 16th arrondissement of Paris that sits on a rectangular pitch covered with artificial turf. The multi-level structure includes covered stands and seating for around 20,000 spectators.

The ground opened in 1925 and carries the name of French runner Jean Bouin, who won an Olympic silver medal in Stockholm in 1912. The current structure dates from 2013 when the site underwent a complete rebuild.

The ground hosts home matches for Stade Français rugby club, whose supporters are known for their colourful chants and displays. On match days the nearby cafés and streets fill with fans who gather to support their team with energy and song.

The entrance to the ground sits near the Porte de Saint-Cloud métro station, which offers quick access from central areas. Visitors who wish to walk before or after a match will find the Bois de Boulogne park right next door.

The ground sits directly opposite the Parc des Princes, forming a rare pairing of two major sports facilities in Paris. This close arrangement turns the neighbourhood into a meeting point for sports fans of all disciplines.
