Temple of Marseille football, the ORANGE VELODROME, also called "STADE VÉLODROME", is located on the boulevard Michelet in the 8th, near the turn FR3 Mediterranean.

It is gigantic, visible from all the heights of Marseille with the white roof similar to a sail in rippling in the wind, intended to protect from the rain the 67000 seats arranged around a lawn last generation hybrid. In reality this coverage is very solidly anchored by an incredible steel structure taking into account the strength and direction of the winds! A gap between the lawn and the bleachers, protects the players of any incident.
The four stands surrounding this mythical arena are not interconnected. Tribune presidential (Tribune Jean Bouin/name of the Marseilles marathon runner) is also for the V.I.P. boxes, to the television cameras, to the press.

Capacity UEFA: 67 000 places
Club : Olympic Marseille

As its name suggests, the stade Vélodrome was a track cycling when it opened in 1937, although the first event was a football match.
This is the stage of the legendary Football Club, OM. It hosts also a few games of Rugby and is often used as a concert venue or for political meetings.

Guided tours are held (between 8 and €13 / pers). You can admire the locker room players, to the appearance of a sleek, Greek temple, in the colours of the emblem of the city, white and blue. You can also stroll through the axial tunnel out to the lawn and let you impress by the Gigantism of the building, around and above you, and by the importance of the metal structure supporting the white roof. You will cross the panoramic room window overlooking the lawn and visit the press room...

He must have the opportunity, at least once in his life, to be immersed in this noisy, cheerful atmosphere and emotional matches with its thousands of Marseille supporters in madness, it's quite unique!.
