The track was 1.930 km (1.199 mi) in length and featured 14 turns. It went clock-wise around Les Invalides with the Musée de l'Armée and the tomb of Napoleon. The pit lane was located along the Esplanade des Invalides, north of Les Invalides.[2] It was characterised by a slippery surface, and a short section at turn 3 with new tarmac temporarily placed over the cobblestones. It also featured the tightest pit lane between turns 14 and 1 in the entire calendar due to the tight hairpin turn before rejoining the track.
