Just scary, or is it bad?
I don't know enough, but a walk from Stade de France to Gar Du Nord takes you through the 18th and 10th Arrondissements - those areas feel dangerous to me, but you'd have to ask others. I have no problem during the day, but have never walked around after dark.
This sounds great thanks!!!
you're right 1 train over 3
it means that it is possible but it will be very crowdy.
I think we have to take our time and go in advance.
Run like hell from the stadium so you get inside the Peripherique as quick as possible! When in the 18th arrondissement you can slow down a bit. When reaching the Butte you can walk down to Gare du Nord!
Of course he is Mick Taylor!
Talk about your favorite band.

I'd rather walk back and cool off, instead of the waiting and being crammed into a train.
You'll sleep like a log... if you manage to get back to your hotel in one piece. St.Denis (the city) is bad at night and the northern area of Paris (the one you'll walk thru to get back to Gare du Nord) is the worst of the City Of Light.
So you might reconsider.
Personnally I wouldn't do it.
@MingSubu: listen to dcba, he is completely right, don't do it!!!
RER is not totally affected, and the metro is all right.

Why not? Bad area? If it's the distance, I can do 5K standing on my head.
Area between St. Denis and Gar du Nord is a little scary after dark.

They said it was some sort of strike in the train system, so I jumped a taxi when I arrived at CDG last night. I might have taken a bus - then I would have sorted out where and when and spend an hour.
I was stuck in traffic for nearly an hour in the taxi, and it cost me 50 Euro. The bus is 2 something... On our way, some place between Stade de France and Gare du Nord, we passed by some weired area. This was at 9pm or so. One person was chasing another, the other was barefoot - in the Paris streets, the area was not nice at all, and I am glad I don't live there. I might walk there after the show, but to be honest, it looked bad.

It is bad, Bjornulf...
Ming if you want to take a long walk after the show take line 13 (like everyone else) get off at Champs-Elysées and walk home to Gare du Nord.
It'll long (3 hrs) but it'll be nice and safe : the Champs, Concorde, the Louvre etc etc. You won't get in trouble there
And if you feel tired, you can take a Noctilien night bus back to Gare du Nord.

Hello,
I DO NOT recommand to walk from Gare du Nord to SDF. It's one of the worst place if you doesn't know Paris. RER B is the best but today, strike day, I do not recommand it.
The best way today (cause the strike) is the ligne 13 until Saint-Denis Porte de Paris but take care to take the good direction at "La Fourche" Station. I think there is many securities between the station and the SDF and it will be safe.
After all, if you to take a drink the best areas are the "rue Montmartre" and "Saint-Germain des Prés" : very safe and good people. The center is best, nicer and safer if you don't know Paris. North is ok if you know the area to go or people but there is many bad places and bad people.
I will go tonight (sud A pelouse debout) around 7 pm at Saint-Lazare (L14) and ligne 13 if I can Help someone.
Cheers
Sébastien

what about the new end of ligne 12 ? (Front Populaire).
It could be less crowdy. But you have to find your way to SdF.
It's not easy to walk there when you don't know well. You have the choice between big boulevard with lot of cars and small street with very few people.

Hello from Gate R! I am number 20 or so in line. I first went to gate S but everyone else there had Pelouse Or and not Pelouse VIP tickets. So I decided to take my chances at R instead. After all,all that counts is the bar code. It's now 10.40am and the sun is just coming out to the west side of the stadium. Gotta stop using my mobile for internet now,the roaming rates are gonna kill me...anyway,everyone have a good one! Looks like I will be on Ronnie's side,but hey,that's a first! My 7th show tonight. I am wearing a blue cap, black jeans and a Bergen 2006 event tee (Norwegian flag tongue). Come and say hi!

Came back upstairs from bfast. A couple were at the reception desk panicing about the trains.
I have a seat, so no need to get there early. But what time should I leave my hotel to get there in time? I'm right by the Gare du Nord.

As I have to go back to CDG airport after the show, I'm considering to take line 13 and the metro until gare de l'est and take the noctilien from there.
I thought, maybe it would be safer to take the bus there than it at Saint Denis.
Moreover, metro is supposedly running until 1:40am, isn't it?
Any insight would be appreciated!!

In this article it says that the strike will continue until 19.00 hours.
If that's the case, I guess all trains will run as normal after the show?

It seems that right now there are very few RER B trains (none in fact) going from "Chatelet" to "La Plaine Stade de France", they all end at "Gare du Nord" : [www.ratp.fr]
RER D seems a bit better, can't be worse really, with trains every 20/40 minutes : [www.transilien.com]

Didn't know about any strikes but went for a taxi when I noticed the ticket queues at CDG.
So ready for 'She was Hot' as the fast one, "As tears go by" as the slow'un. And Chuck can be lazy and keep OOC in the set. Do I have a dream about CYHMK?
I will have fun tonite! Me know!
