Arenes de Lutece Review

Arènes de Lutèce
Archaeological Sites, Quartier Latin
Fodor's Review:
This Roman amphitheater was rediscovered in 1869. Designed as a theater and circus, the site was almost completely destroyed by barbarians in AD 280, though you can still see part of the stage and tiered seating. Along with the remains of the baths at Cluny, the arena constitutes rare evidence of the powerful Roman city of Lutetia that flourished on the Rive Gauche in the 3rd century. Today it's a favorite spot for picnicking, or a pick up game of soccer or boules.
