The Accor Arena: A Legendary Venue in Paris Bercy 

Located in the 12th arrondissement of Paris, the Accor Arena (formerly the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy or POPB) is one of the largest multi-purpose venues in the world. Instantly recognizable by its sloped walls covered in grass, it blends perfectly into the verdant landscape of the Parc de Bercy. 

An Exceptional Lineup

Since its inauguration, the Arena has hosted the world’s biggest international stars: from Madonna to Céline Dion, the Rolling Stones, and Daft Punk. It is also the stage for essential sporting events such as the Rolex Paris Masters (tennis), international show jumping, and world-renowned e-sport tournaments. 

A Versatile Structure 

Thanks to exceptional modularity, the venue can shift from a 20,000-seat concert configuration to an Olympic ice rink or a basketball court in just a few hours. This versatility makes it the beating heart of Parisian events. Staying in a hotel near the Accor Arena allows you to soak up this unique energy as soon as you arrive in the neighborhood. 

Bold and Organic Architecture 

What first strikes visitors is its unique pyramidal look. Unlike cold concrete structures, the Arena blends into the Parc de Bercy ecosystem thanks to its famous walls inclined at 45 degrees and entirely covered with natural grass. This "hill of steel and grass" has become a visual icon of Eastern Paris. Inside, the metal framework rests on four massive pillars, freeing up an 11,000 $m^2$ space without any intermediate posts, thus offering perfect visibility from every seat. 

The Temple of Records and Emotions 

For over 40 years, the Accor Arena has been a mandatory stop for the world's biggest tours. This is where legends are made: 

Music: From Johnny Hallyday, who holds the record for the most performances there, to Beyoncé, Daft Punk, or more recently K-pop stars, the venue offers cutting-edge acoustics that enhance every performance. 

Sport: The Arena is capable of radical metamorphosis. In a few hours, the floor transforms into a tennis court for the Rolex Paris Masters, a basketball court for the NBA Paris Game, or a motocross track for the famous Paris Supercross. 

Shows: It is also the preferred residence for major family shows like Cirque du Soleil or Disney on Ice. 

A "Next Gen" Spectator Experience 

Since its major renovation in 2015, the Arena has redesigned the user experience. More than just a place to watch a show, it is a living space: 

• Lounges and Suites: Ultra-comfortable VIP areas for a premium experience. 
• The Grand Hall: A 2,000 m2 space offering themed bars, high-quality fast-food zones, and merchandising areas. 
• Connectivity: High-density Wi-Fi allowing 20,000 spectators to share their emotions in real-time on social media. 

A Strategic Location by the Seine 

The Accor Arena enjoys a privileged environment. Bordered by the Seine and the Ministry of Economy and Finance, it serves as a link between historic Paris and the new business district of the Left Bank. For travelers staying in a hotel near the Accor Arena, this means direct access to the banks of the Seine for a night stroll after a concert, or a quick connection to the Bibliothèque Nationale de France (BNF) via the Simone-de-Beauvoir footbridge.
