Nef Lucien Belloni, Sports stadium in L'Île-Saint-Denis, France.
Description
Nef Lucien Belloni is a sports hall with a distinctive boat-shaped silhouette in L'Île-Saint-Denis. The structure features a hyperbolic paraboloid roof suspended between two oblique arches, making it a striking example of post-war architecture.
History
The hall was built between 1968 and 1971 on the grounds of the former Menier chocolate factory. In 2007, the Ministry of Culture granted the building heritage monument status, recognizing its architectural importance.
Culture
The venue hosted landmark performances by major international artists in the 1970s, shaping France's musical landscape of that era. The building embodies the spirit of a time when music and modern architecture converged.
Practical
The facility is currently undergoing renovations for upcoming international sporting events. Visitor access may be limited, so it is worth checking conditions before planning a visit.
Did you know?
The roof is a remarkable technical achievement using tensioned cables between two oblique arches, allowing engineers of that era to create large open spaces without columns. This innovative construction method was groundbreaking for the 1970s.
