The layout for the inaugural Paris ePrix has been unveiled at a media event earlier today.
The 1.93km 14-turn circuit runs through the city of Paris, past historic landmarks such as the Army Museum and the Tomb of Napoleon.
The Paris ePrix marks the start of the European season in Formula E, which will take place on April 23.
Formula E CEO Alejandro Agag said: “As a series we are fortunate enough to race in some incredible locations but none more spectacular than the backdrop in the city of Paris.
“The ethos of Formula E is urban racing in the heart of cities around the world – Paris certainly ticks all those boxes.”
Jean Todt, President of the FIA, said: “The FIA is particularly pleased that there will be a Formula E race run through the streets of the centre of Paris, the city that has been our home for over a century. This series is heavily linked to the development of new technologies and to promoting a new model for sustainable mobility.”
The circuit still requires approval from the FIA.
