The Fondation Biermans-Lapôtre is a university residence that is part of the Cité international universitaire de Paris, located in the 14th arrondissement of Paris, near Parc Montsouris. It is the first foreign house decided on the site of the Cité Internationale universitaire de Paris. The residence primarily accommodates graduate students from Belgium and Luxembourg who are pursuing their studies in Paris, but students of other nationalities also live there as a part of the Cité's commitment to international exchange. Jean Hubert Biermans and his wife Berthe Lapôtre funded the construction of the residence, which was completed in 1927. It was renovated in 2000. Armand Guéritte was the architect of the Fondation Biermans-Lapôtre, as well as the Maison des Provinces de France. Marcel Gaumont designed the literature and science themed bas-relief entrance and Edgar Brandt made the gate. There are also frescoes depicting important locations in Belgium by René Gaucher inside the building.

Stade Sébastien Charléty
Stade Sébastien Charléty

Stade Sebastien Charléty, known simply as Stade Charléty or just Charléty, is a multi-use stadium in the 13th arrondissement of Paris, France. Officially, the current capacity of the stadium is 20,000 people. The stadium opened in 1938 and was designed by French architect Bernard Zehrfuss. It is the current home of Paris FC who compete in Ligue 2. The stadium has hosted many matches during various Rugby League World Cups. It served as the temporary home for the Stade Français rugby union club, starting in 2010–11 and running through 2012–13, while that club was building a completely new stadium at the site of its traditional home, Stade Jean-Bouin. It also hosted a Stade Français home match in the Paris derby with Racing Métro in the 2009–10 season. The stadium has an athletic track that hosted the 1994 and 2002 IAAF Grand Prix Final and the 2003 European Youth Summer Olympic Festival. The stadium was scheduled to host the 2020 European Athletics Championships but that event was cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. There is an indoor sporting arena called Salle Pierre Charpy that is located under the stadium. The capacity of the arena is 1,850 people. It is currently the home arena of the French Pro A League professional volleyball team Paris Volley. In May 1968, Charléty made the news for a nonsporting event: on 27 May, the meeting of the Union Nationale des Étudiants de France, one of the most important of the protests of that month, took place, attracting between 30,000 and 50,000 people. The crowd, led by Pierre Mendès-France and Michel Rocard, shouted "Ce n'est qu'un début, continuons le combat!" ("This is only the beginning; let's keep up the fight!")
