During the PSG – Newcastle match on October 4, the Parc des Princes will open its doors to program winners for a behind-the-scenes tour of the sports complex’s key areas. Participation in the BIG event, Europe’s largest business gathering organized by BPI France, is also planned for October 5 at the Accord Arena.
