Speaking to L'Equipe, Coupet was asked to recall the top three most memorable atmospheres he played in.
He said: "I put Celtic above all because there is a cathedral effect, magnificent chants, no animosity.
"It's magical."
Other stadiums that made his top three were Fenerbahce's in Turkey and the stadiums of Lyon's and Lens' rivals.
He is the latest in a long line of players and managers who have praised the atmosphere at Celtic Park.
Adrien Rabiot, Coupet's fellow Frenchman, also recently recalled his experience at Celtic Park with PSG.
He said [CARRE]: "With PSG, we played against Celtic Glasgow.
"We were winning 5-0, but the guys kept singing, it was incredible, I'd never seen that before.
"You know, it's the emotions you experience, even though you're the opposing team.
"Even my family was in the stadium, they still remember it, because it's the things you experience.
"You say, the guys took 5-0, but they're singing all over the stadium."
He put Celtic Park second on his list, with Marseille in first place.
