Please note that stadium car parking spaces must be purchased in advanced, as parking spaces cannot be paid for upon arrival. Click here to book car parking for specific events.

Travelling to the Stade de France by taxi takes approximately 10 minutes from central Saint-Denis, and closer to 50 minutes from central Paris. There is no dedicated taxi rank at the stadium, and traffic restrictions are usually in place on events days, preventing cars without parking passes from accessing the roads directly around the stadium complex. It may therefore be necessary to be dropped-off on a road a short walk away from the stadium.
