Lonely Planet review for Arènes de Lutèce

The 2nd-century Roman amphitheatre Lutetia Arena once sat around 10,000 people for gladiatorial combats and other events. Found by accident in 1869 when rue Monge was under construction, it’s now used by locals playing football and, especially, boules and pétanque.
