I'm embarrassed to admit - but I still haven't made my mind up on what to do! I'm resigned to paying more for hotels and flights...
I thought I had finally made my decision and settled on Rome. It's so last minute for Paris now. And then I checked out the weather predictions...
Paris will be hot but not as bad as Rome. And I can't take heat and humidity well.
So now I'm trying to make my decision.
I've found a reasonably priced hotel near the Madeleine metro station. I don't think that's a direct link from Stade de France but I guess I could walk or get a cab from Gare St. Lazare?
Eurostar is far too expensive now so I'll fly in to CDG. I think someone here has already asked but do people know if the train strike will affect travel from CDG to central Paris and/or Stade de France?
Odean73 - I really hope you manage to find a buyer for your tickets. If I do go to Paris, I really want Pelouse Or or VIP so I don't think what you have is for me - sorry.

Martha, why don't you e-mail the hotel near the Madeleine and ask them
about the Metro connection to Stade de France and how long it will take?
Taxis get very expensive. I expect it will be no more than half an hour
on the Metro even if you transfer.

And why would you consider it pointless?

RER included?

Comptez 1 train sur 3 sur les RER C et E, 1 train tous les quarts d'heure sur le RER D et 1 train toutes les 10 minutes sur le RER B en heure de pointe. En revanche, le trafic devrait être normal sur le RER A. Concernant le réseau Transilien, 1 train sur 2 devrait circuler sur les lignes N et U et 1 train sur 3 sur les autres lignes.

BTW anybody got info on water bottle policy at Stade de France? Think I read somewhere they allow a bottle but make you take the cap off (yes,bring spare caps)

Agreed, it's just clickbait, they already did this on the Bridges tour, and the vote-counting process would make Robert Mugabe blush.
BTW, there's an SNCF and taxi strike here in Paris (naturellement), so allow extra time to/from CDG and anywhere else.
