Firminy-Vert Stadium

The Firminy-Vert Stadium features concrete terraces that follow the natural slope of a former quarry site, accommodating 3,800 spectators with 500 covered seats.

Le Corbusier designed the stadium in 1954, but construction began in 1966 and was completed in 1968 under the supervision of Fernand Gardien and André Wogenscky.

The stadium forms part of a larger architectural ensemble in Firminy Vert, connecting visually with the House of Culture and Saint Peter's Church.

The stadium remains operational for sports activities and architectural tours, with access provided through a boulevard leading to the upper bleacher sections.

Built into an abandoned quarry, the stadium's design incorporates the natural terrain, creating an integrated structure that merges with the landscape.
