Is there parking at the arena?
Public transport (Metro Line 12 or Tram T3b) is the simplest way to reach the arena. If you plan to drive, check the official adidas arena website for current parking information before the event.
Why stay in La Chapelle instead of Montmartre?
Hotels here are a short walk from the arena, so the trip back after an event is brief. The trade-off is the surroundings: the district is still being redeveloped and has little of the old-Paris feel of Montmartre. Montmartre is about 2 km to the south and takes roughly 10 minutes by Metro Line 12.
Do events happen regularly?
Yes. Paris Basketball is the resident club, and the arena also hosts concerts, esports and other sports. During the 2024 Olympics it staged badminton and rhythmic gymnastics. Check the official adidas arena website for the current schedule.
