Afternoon,
This will be my first sporting event in Paris and I was wondering if there is anywhere in Paris that traditionally the English supporters tend to mass pre game?
Thanks

You’ll always find lots of England fans enjoying a drink or 10 around the Gare du Nord. There are quite a lot of bars there and always a good atmosphere. You then take the RER train from Gare du Nord to the stadium and this takes around 10 minutes.

There tends to be quite a lot of temporary bars set up between the stations and the ground, which are used by both sets of supporters but I agree with Phil, Gare du Nord is the area where most of the English supporters congregate. It might have something to do with being the Eurostar Terminus!
However, both the above options mean you do not get to see much of Paris and bearing in mind it's a very late kick-off, I suggest getting a one day Metro/RER pass and using the underground system to see a few sights.
