The Arènes de Lutèce are the remains of a 1st-century Gallo-Roman amphitheater, offering a glimpse into ancient Paris. Located in the Latin Quarter, the arena could hold up to 15,000 spectators for gladiator fights and public shows. Today, it provides a peaceful green space in the heart of the city where visitors and locals gather for strolls, picnics, and outdoor cultural events. This historic site is a poignant reminder of Paris’s ancient origins, back when it was known as Lutetia.
