Insolite : Take a tour of the Bercy Arena during Heritage Days 2026

It's a venue Parisians know inside out... but they usually visit it after dark. And for good reason: the Arena de Bercy is one of the capital's premier concert halls. Top artists and musicians have graced its stage, from Duran Duran, Katseye, and the Pussycat Dolls to Indochine, ASAP Rocky, Lady Gaga, Evanescence, Pitbull... not to mention. The Paris Bercy arena also hosts comedians, major sporting events, or trade fairs.

It's one of the must-see stops on the Parisian calendar. But do you really know this venue—its architecture, its history, its secrets? To discover more, join us on Sunday, September 20, 2026. The Accor Arena will unusually open its doors for guided tours, as part of the new edition of the Heritage Days.
