5. borough'On Quartier Latin – Latin QuarterThis arena located in is named after Lutèce, the old name of Paris (lutes) and the date 1st century AD it endures; well Lutece Arena is a place that is exactly two thousand years old. when it was done It has a seating capacity of 17.000 people This amphitheater has been damaged a lot throughout history and only a small part of it has survived to the present day.

At the back row when it was built slaves and the poor, if they are well placed, of course the rich and nobles He used to sit. In today's terms Service The part is rich and noble It belonged to men. I don't know if this information sounds familiar to you?
Lutece Arena – Arènes de Lutèce may not be on the list of priority places for those who will visit Paris in their limited time, but if you are staying in the Latin Quarter or going to other places that interest you in this area, it is a very special place that I believe will add meaning to your day if you stop by and see it.
