Paris-Saint-Germain fans were still hoping not to leave their historic stadium, the Parc des Princes, in the 16th arrondissement of Paris. However, after the city council refused to sell the stadium to the Parisian club, the latter was forced to consider its departure, and therefore the creation of a new venue to bring PSG to life, after having thought for a time of the Stade de France. Several towns in the Île-de-France region have expressed interest, some even in neighboring regions, but some are more likely than others! We take stock.
In order to host the new stadium, it must be accessible by public transport, which doesn't leave many elected representatives in the lurch. However, construction isn't going to start just yet, and in the meantime, several towns in the region will be getting a metro, thanks to the planned new lines of the Grand Paris Express. According to Le Parisien, which is aware of a letter sent to the region, PSG is looking for a 50-hectare area within a 20-kilometer radius of the capital.
Among the towns in mind is Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines (Yvelines), close to the new PSG Campus in Poissy, and accessible by the N and U lines as well as the RER C, 20 minutes from the capital by car. Aulnay-sous-Bois (Seine-Saint-Denis) has also put forward its candidacy, as has Gonesse (Val-d'Oise). TheSaint-Cloud racecourse, which seemed to be interested in the project, seems to be receding, while the towns of Joinville, Châteaudun and Ris-Orangis have already been ruled out.
