Ris-Orangis Offers a Massive Site and an Accelerated Timeline for PSG’s New Stadium.
While PSG’s new stadium was initially projected to take up to ten years, the city of Ris-Orangis wants to fast-track the process. According to RMC, the city has offered a 97-hectare site on the former Ris-Orangis racecourse, presenting an ambitious alternative to the Parc des Princes renovation.
With the slogan “Ici, c’est Paris en Grand!”, the municipality is pushing to secure PSG’s approval. The site is owned by the Île-de-France Public Land Establishment (EPFIF), ensuring no risk of expropriation and faster construction. The proposed stadium could be completed by 2030.
Pros and Cons of the Ris-Orangis Site
✅ Advantages:
- Large-scale project with 97 hectares available for PSG.
- No legal complications over land ownership.
- Sustainable energy infrastructure with deep geothermal heating.
- Surrounded by natural landscapes, including Sénart Forest and the Seine.
❌ Challenges:
- 25 km from central Paris, raising accessibility concerns.
- Still awaiting PSG’s approval, as the club considers other locations.
How Would Fans Get There?
The site is connected by public transport, including RER C and D, as well as National Route 7. Additionally, PSG would have full ownership of the stadium, giving them complete control over its development for the next 50 years.
For now, PSG has not made a final decision, but Ris-Orangis presents a strong alternative amid uncertainty over the Parc des Princes.
