The Stadium Velodrome of the Parc des Princes is inaugurated on July 18th, 1897. On the occasion of this inauguration, the access to stands is forbidden made hastily, these stands worry the authorities which will grant their approval only after works of intensification.

These prefabricated stands were brought on the spot Installed in a dozen days, in the style of a huge construction set.
Stands were 32 meters long weigh each 4 tons.

This stadium counted 3200 places and is encircled by a cycle track of 666,66 meters in length with no lanes.
The realization of this track was made according to the rate of clay in the ground.
If there is an average rate of clay, the ground is moistened until become a thick mud which is spread.
If there is a strong rate of clay, the ground is used such as removed from the ground and compacted with feet.
If there is a low rate of clay, we add straw and droppings.

On this picture, the first knocks of excavators. They needed to dig 8 meters in the ground, an immense pit of more than 120 meters in length for 80 meters wide to welcome the lawn. The walls of this hole are sloping of 8 meters to put the lower ring of the stadium there.

After that, the phase of construction now could begin. The installation of potences required a lot of time and precision. These potences support the second ring of the stadium as the roof.
For the construction of the second ring, they needed to use trammels on concrete which were fixed to potences. This structure was going to welcome the superior stands. (A trammel is a potence stocked with notches or teeth)

- In the pit begin the molding of the lower stands. These immense concrete parts were molded before being arranged and assembled between them on the spot. Always more stands, the first ring of the stadium takes form.
