Stade de France

Built for the 1998 football World Cup and still the largest stadium in France, it took the athletics and para-athletics programme in 2024 along with rugby sevens, and closed the Olympic Games with the final ceremony. The track was laid over the retractable lower tier that normally slides forward for football and rugby.
