With the Mediterranean on its doorstep, Nice – the capital of the Alpes-Maritimes department – is considered to be one of France’s most attractive cities. A real economic, cultural and architectural revolution has transformed the city and the surrounding area in recent years. This youthful, creative, dynamic and cosmopolitan city – the second largest in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region – is brimming with innovation reminiscent of major European capitals. Nice stadium is the city’s main sports venue. It was built in 2013 to the highest performance standards, with its sustainable infrastructure benefitting from eco-design principles. This jewel in the city’s architectural crown was designed to be a multipurpose complex that could accommodate football and rugby matches, cultural events and large concerts. The stadium puts its 10,000 m² of exhibition areas to good use, hosting 150 events each year. It also houses the French national sports museum, which attracts 70,000 visitors annually. Nice stadium can be held up as an inspiring example in terms of sustainable development, boasting 7,000 m² of roof solar panels generating over 1.5 MWh of energy annually, a wood and steel structure, a rainwater collection and reuse system, as well as a rigorous waste sorting plan implemented for all major events.
