Stadium de Vitrolles, Multi-purpose stadium in Vitrolles, France.
Stadium de Vitrolles is a multipurpose sports venue in Vitrolles designed by architect Rudy Ricciotti with a distinctive black concrete structure. The building sits on a former bauxite disposal site and provides facilities for various sporting and cultural events.
The stadium opened in 1994 as a home venue for the OM Vitrolles handball team and closed to the public in 1998. Since then it has undergone changes to support new uses beyond its original sports purpose.
The venue serves the community as a multipurpose events space that goes well beyond sports, hosting music festivals and concerts that draw diverse audiences. This mix of activities gives the place a dynamic role in local life today.
The stadium is managed by the city of Vitrolles since 2015 and sits in the Bouches-du-Rhône region of southern France. Check ahead for event schedules to plan your visit and arrive with enough time to explore the surrounding area.
The architect Rudy Ricciotti who designed the stadium is also the creator of the famous MuCEM museum in Marseille. This connection reveals how the same design vision shaped two very different buildings across the region.
