The “Arenes” of Metz
Two years after the fire of the old Sport Center of Metz, the “Arenes” is built in 2001. It was conceived by the architect Paul Chemetov. This building was built on the old Roman amphitheater. It’s a modern building situated in the east of the town in “Quartier de l’amphitheatre”. It’s a fabulous place if you want to have a nice walk along the river with the park linking the swimming pool and the sports center.
It’s a sports complex, where can welcome national or international sport and art, event like music and festival. In the Arenes you can pratise a lot of sports like gymnastics, handball, dance… This is also a place of meetings. October, we can see the Open of Moselle (a tennis competition) during two weeks, and in December the world competition of Handball for girls. We can go to the “Arenes” to look some shows of celebrities like Dany Boon….
The building can welcome 4500 visitors to look matches and support their teams. There are three levels in this building and the “Arenes” measure 16 580 m2.
