10.07.98 13h43 CET

For the World Cup Final on Sunday 12 July kicking off at 21h00 at the Stade de France in SAINT-DENIS, the PARIS police force would like to remind you of the following:

• spectators are urged to take public transport to get to the Stade de FRANCE (the number of trains will be increased to accommodate the crowds before and after the game).
• RER line D offers increased capacity: get off at the Stade de France SAINT-DENIS station;
• RER line B: get off at the La Plaine-Stade de France station;
• Metro line 13: get off at the SAINT-DENIS-Porte de Paris station.

Only those spectators with a reserved parking place may enter the stadium area. Other motorists may use the parking spots adjacent to the RER stations they leave from, with the exception of the PARIS-NORD-Villepinte station which will be closed.

Any vehicle illegally parked around the Stade de France area will be immediately impounded to ensure that first aid vehicles can get in and out of the stadium rapidly.
