Accor Arena (originally known as the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy), also known as Bercy Arena, is an indoor sports arena and concert hall in the neighbourhood of Bercy, on the Boulevard de Bercy, in the 12th arrondissement of Paris, France. The closest Métro station is Bercy, which also serves the Finance Ministry.
Designed by the architectural firm Andrault-Parat, Jean Prouvé and Aydin Guvan, the pyramidal arena's sloping walls are covered with a lawn. It can seat 7,000 to 20,300 people, depending on the event.
The arena was renamed Bercy Arena after renovations on 1 January 2015, AccorHotels Arena in October 2015,[2] and its current name in June 2020.[3][4]
Since 1985, the arena has hosted the annual Festival des Arts Martiaux.[5]
