Saint-Denis, best known to football fans as the home of the French National Stadium where the 1998 World Cup was held, is a commune in the north of Paris. Car hire in Saint-Denis is very popular with those who are staying in the commune, but want to travel in and out of Paris City Centre, which is only 1 kilometres away. Hiring a car in Saint-Denis also makes it easy to visit the football stadium, the scenic Parc de la Légion d'Honneur or the world's largest antiques market at nearby Saint-Ouen. Saint-Denis gives visitors an authentic taste of Parisian life.
If you are hiring a car in Saint-Denis then a visit to the antique market at Saint-Ouen is highly recommended. The market has been in existence since the early 1900's and stocks an eclectic range of products. The area is a wonderland for shoppers, just don't be put off by the name: Parisian's call the area 'Les Puces' (the fleas!). If you are travelling into the City Centre, rent a car in Saint-Denis and follow the A1 South. The route will take you past some of the most famous sights in Paris, including the Sacre Coeur and The Louvre Museum.
