Léo-Lagrange stadium, Multi-sport stadium in Poissy, France.
Léo-Lagrange stadium in Poissy is a sports facility combining a football pitch, athletics track, and multiple tennis courts in a single complex. The overall layout accommodates around 3,500 spectators and integrates different sporting disciplines into one location.
The stadium project was launched in 1941–1942, and construction took place after the war; the grandstand was built in 1949. Its concrete roof, designed by engineer M. Reimbert, consists of seven thin-shell vaults just six millimetres thick, cantilevered over the gallery and seating.
The name honors Léo Lagrange, a French sports advocate from the 1930s whose legacy shaped national sports policy. Visitors witness the place serving both competitive athletes and local football fans who gather throughout the year.
The stadium is located on Rue du Stade in Poissy and is accessible on foot or by local transportation. The football field features natural grass while the tennis courts are laid with synthetic surfaces for consistent playing conditions.
The grandstand roof was designed by engineer M. Reimbert as a series of seven thin reinforced-concrete vaults, each only six millimetres thick. Cantilevered, they cover the gallery by 2.40 metres and the seating by 7.20 metres. The base wall is built of local rubble stone cut in rustic bossage.
