Stade Bergeyre, Former Olympic stadium in 19th district, France
Stade Bergeyre was a sports venue in Paris's 19th district with two grandstands and a grass field ringed by a running track. The facility hosted football, rugby, and athletics events and could accommodate around 15,000 spectators.
The stadium was built in 1918 with financial backing from Jacques Sigrand and closed in 1926. After its demolition, the land was redeveloped as a residential neighborhood.
The stadium served as a gathering place for Parisians interested in athletics and football during the early 20th century. Its name honored a rugby player lost to World War I, and the neighborhood still carries this memory.
The site is no longer accessible as it has been completely redeveloped with residential buildings. The neighborhood name Butte Bergeyre makes it easy to find where the stadium once stood.
The stadium hosted events during the 1924 Olympic Games, helping Paris showcase its sporting capabilities. Today, only the neighborhood name preserves this athletic heritage.
