Zénith Paris (originally known as Zénith de Paris, pronounced [zenit də paʁi]; and commonly referred to as Le Zénith, [lə zenit]) is a multi-purpose indoor arena in Paris, France. It is located in the Parc de la Villette in the 19th arrondissement on the edge of the Canal de l'Ourcq. Its ability to seat up to 6,293 people makes it one of the largest venues in Paris. The closest métro and RER stations are Porte de la Villette, Porte de Pantin, and Pantin.
It is the first venue to bear the moniker of Le Zénith; a group of theatre-style venues located in France each with a minimum capacity of 3,000. Because of this, the venue in Paris simply referred to as "Le Zénith" in many forms of media.
