Built on the outskirts of Paris for the 1998 FIFA World Cup, the Stade de France stands as the largest football stadium in France, boasting over 80,000 seats. It's also designed to host a variety of cultural and sporting events. A must-see among French sports facilities, it's replicated in the Île-de-France region of the park, alongside famous miniature Parisian monuments: the Arc de Triomphe, Hôtel des Invalides, Sacré Coeur Basilica, Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame de Paris...
The Stade de France is the only model in the park that was completed before its real counterpart! In collaboration with the Consortium, the architects behind the original stadium, our model makers installed this miniature complete with 50,000 tiny figures in 1997, a whole year before the grand opening of the actual Stade de France in Saint Denis, Île-de-France.
This model is meticulously made from mainly PVC materials. Model makers glued 50,000 figures onto the stands. The miniature monument required about 4,000 hours of work.
