June is usually a busy month in Paris, but this year will be particularly intense!
Football fanatics already know that UEFA Euro 2016 will be held in France from June 10th to July 10th. The matches will be played in ten cities: Bordeaux, Lens, Lille, Lyon, Marseille, Nice, Paris, Saint-Denis, Saint-Etienne and Toulouse.
It will be a great opportunity to watch the best teams in Europe compete! The opening match will take place at the famous Stade de France in Saint-Denis (city next to Paris), between France and Romania. Check the schedule and ticket availability here.
A Fan Zone will be located at Champ de Mars and will be open until midnight on all game days! There will be a stage for concerts, a village for the UEFA sponsors, food stalls, giant screens to watch the games and entertainment in the secure enclosure.
A great attraction promises to shake up the city! The famous French DJ David Guetta is the tournament’s music ambassador. He was assigned to compose the official music and will promote a free concert on June 9th at the foot of the Eiffel Tower! The attraction promises to gather thousands of people!
If you are planning on riding the Eiffel Tower on the 9th, be aware that it will be closing at 4pm, according to its official site. I advise you to avoid the ride on this day if you can.
For those, like me, who will be attending the show: pay attention to your belongings, take with you only the necessary items! I’m sure the security will be very high, but better safe than sorry! Other than that? Enjoy!
