The Stade Pierre de Coubertin (French: Pierre de Coubertin Stadium) is an indoor arena in Paris, France. It is the home venue of the Paris-Levallois Basket basketball team and the Open Gaz de France women's tennis tournament.
The Stade Pierre de Coubertin opened in 1937 for the Universal Exposition; it was rebuilt after the Second World War in 1946. Currently the arena has a capacity of 4,835 seats.
In addition to being the home of the Paris BR, the Stade Pierre de Coubertin each year hosts 2 fencing Grand Prix: Challenge International de Paris (in January) and Challenge Monal (in February); and a women's tennis tournament: Open Gaz de France (in February).
The stadium was used as a detention centre during the Paris massacre of 1961.
