As the Pierrier car park is reserved for TV technicians and VIPs, it will not be accessible to the public, and there will be a car park along Avenue du Châtelard (first come, first served).
If this is full, there is a P+R at the motorway exit and you then have to take a bus to get off at the Salle Omnisport du Pierrier.
In any case, public transport is the best option, given the crowds on Saturday and Sunday.
