Designed by the architects Auer Weber et Christophe Gulizzi, the Arena is on the Domaine des Trois-Pigeons, in Luynes. 15 minutes from Aix-en-Provence city centre and 35 minutes from the entrance to Marseille (via the A51).
Next to the central “cauldron”, with six thousand seats, is a training hall with a capacity for two thousand spectators. All around the stadium are patios and lounges bathed in natural light. Outside, there are tree-lined car parks with around a thousand places (exclusively reserved for access-ticket holders, with tickets on sale from the ticket office for 5 euros), and ten bus stops. Under the sheltered forecourt, there is a restaurant with a panoramic view.
The arena is the official residence of the PAUC (Pays d'Aix Université Club) handball team and the scene of major sports contests: basketball and volleyball, as well as hockey, tennis and boxing!
