Zenith (building)

The Zenith is a multi-purpose arena and concert venue located in Paris, France. Part of the Parc de la Villette complex in the 19th arrondissement, it is one of the first of a network of Zenith venues constructed throughout France.

The structure is characterized by its distinctive modular design, enabling rapid construction and dismantling. This flexibility allows the venue to be adapted to accommodate various types of events, including concerts, sporting competitions, and conferences. The interior space is generally configurable, often featuring a general admission standing area as well as seated sections.

While the Paris Zenith is the most well-known, the "Zenith" name has become synonymous with a specific type of indoor arena in France, with similar venues operating under the same brand in cities such as Montpellier, Nantes, and Strasbourg. These venues are often intended to provide a mid-sized concert and event space, filling a niche between smaller clubs and larger stadiums or arenas. The Zenith venues play a significant role in the French live entertainment industry.
