How to get to the venue

Bercy : Subway lines 6 and 14 (14 is fully automatic : trains every 3 minutes - more at the rush hours)

Stade de France ( located in Saint Denis): Submay line 13 and RER (express train) line D the subway station is closer to the stadium than the RER, but the way from the RER is easier, and the RER goes faster than the subway.

Recommended hotels

Recommended bars/restaurants

Some girls bar - 43 Rue de Lappe - 75011 Paris Small but nice and not too expensive Stones bar : stones music, stones artwork Located very close to the " Place de la Bastille " Lot of subway line stopping at Bastille.

If you look for french food, you have " les brasseries " ( at least 30-40 EUR ) like the very well known " La Coupole" close to the Gare Montparnasse. Cheap french food is at " Chartier ", but it's crowded if you're not there early. No reservations possible. Of course, the traditional tourist traps : " Hard Rock Café " ( subway station " Grands Boulevards "), " Planet Hollywood " (on the Champs Elysées, equal distance from " George V " and " Franklin D Roosevelt " subway stations)
