Avenue Jules Rimet which leads up to the main entrance is full of bars and pubs that are more than welcoming on a game day!Le Rendez-Vous is the first bar you will see. Set up in the style of a classic brasserie it is decorated with many features of both rugby and football, especially the two big pictures of Eric Cantona and David Beckham.La 3ème Mi-Temps is very close which is also recommended by frequent Stade de France goers. The bar is a very friendly, chilled out bar with two floors, so you should be able to find a seat if you are early! TV's behind the bar and on the back wall show all the build up to the game sport behind the bar and with draught options of Murphy's, Affligem, Heineken and Pelforth Blonde you can't go wrong!The Eden Park isn't as close as the aforementioned bars but it is owned and run by former Racing 92 players and as such, sports fans are encouraged to pay it a visit before the game!Other expat bars such as The Frog and Princess and The Little Temple Bar are also recommended.

Saint-Denis have done it great since they integrated a very nice restaurant directly into the Stade de France. Le Club has a panoramic view on the whole stadium and will satisfy you with good food and drinks.
