Why Jean-Bouin’s pitch has withstood heatwaves better than the Parc des Princes | OneFootball

Natural Grass’s Aquaflow turf, installed a year ago at Stade Jean-Bouin, has coped better with France’s new extremes, from deluges to heatwaves. It is the home surface for Paris FC and Stade Français.

According to L'Équipe, Natural Grass developed Aquaflow. The surface is already showing strong resilience.

On a day with 36 degrees in the shade, the tarmac outside is scorching and the air is stifling around Jean-Bouin in Paris. Hard surfaces dominate, with not a centimetre of grass.

Step inside and the picture flips to an ocean of green. The pitch stands in stark contrast to the parched exterior.

Paris FC secretary general Arnaud Campanella presents the Aquaflow surface. Only 10 days after seeding, the grass is growing at remarkable speed.
