The Orange Velodrome Stadium, a landmark in Marseille since 1937, originally hosted cycling competitions. Over the years, it has undergone three significant renovations, transforming into a premier sports and music venue with a capacity of 67,000 seats. The stadium has been the site of major tournaments, including the Rugby World Cup, the UEFA European Football Championship, and matches for the 2024 Summer Olympics. Today, visitors can experience the thrill of live events or take behind-the-scenes tours to explore its rich history and modern facilities.
