Yep - I was there too and remember that strike. The metro station was chaos aftwards and the CRS struggled to control the crowds. Transport strikes are far from rare in France!
I love that road every time I go to Paris I always go there I love to stand near place du concord and look at the Champs-Elysees at night with the Eiffel Tower just off to the left.

Paris is overrated.
That's a ridiculous statement it's like saying you don't like music or that sex is overrated.
Nate
It really isn't.
Paris is great. That is where it started this time around back in Oct/Nov 2012. I have so many great memories from Paris, and I will always be back for this great city!

You must be a very boring person, as all the turist on the poll
Be as that may. But as I said, excitement is just what Paris lacks.
And Parisiens aren't the friendliest people in the world. And that's an understatement.
But if the stones play there, I'm in. I thought their gig there in 2014 was one the best of the tour (only second to the Pinkpop gig).
I've stayed in Montmartre on my last 3 visits to Paris - close to Jules Joffrin metro station. I liked it a lot. All 3 were for gigs - the Stones in 2007 & 2014 and Paul McCartney at Bercy last year. Hostel dorm bed for 24 EUR a night
About 2,3 months before the tour, they announce it. Probably March..

That means no way for a Stones show in Berlin this summer IMHO. U2 and RS attract 70% the same 'casual' fans, both band's in Berlin at the same time could mean poor sales for both.
I don't think it would be a problem unless they were both in the same city on the same weekend. London is a big enough city to easily support both.
Montmartre is a wonderful area, the "real" Paris. You can easily avoid the Blanche and Pigalle area during nights if that's a problem. A few blocks upwards is great. And the hotels are cheaper there than most other areas.
No problem in London and maybe Paris or Amsterdam but perhaps in Berlin, Rome etc.
Yes. In 1997, 1998, 2005, 2006 and 2015. Maybe more.
It's alright there Nate. Very Spartan and a bit hospital-like but clean and tidy with good wifi. The cheapest you'll get in Oslo by a mile. I'll be there if Oslo happens so might see you there. Any recent sightings of your mate Ronnie btw? He's always been the best band member for leaking touring plans
Talk about your favorite band.

It is a short train ride from the Gare Du Nord to the stadium.

Another post-show option is, after exiting the SDF, hopping on the line 13 of the subway : it'll take you right to the Champs-Elysées.
Strolling on the CE 20 minutes after seeing the boys live, ain't that nice?
I stayed right by the Gare Du Nord, during the '14 concert. Would have been awesome if not for the rail strike.

Yeah I remember that strike we waited on the platform for maybe 30 minutes with no room to move so many people got to the stadium in plenty of time though and the show was awesome.

Paris is one of the worlds great cities.
It is a great city for walking I usually visit for two or three days and end up walking about 20 miles.
I love cities at night for me that is when they really come alive.

I really hope a Stones show in Paris pans out. I was supposed to go in 2003 but France had a transportation strike going on so we passed.
How far in advance have the Stones been announcing tours recently? or put another way, any guesses as to when this tour will be announced?

If memory serves (but the IORR search engine will be a lot more accurate) they started selling tickets for the summer 2014 shows at the end of March and Hyde Park 2013 went on sale early April.

I have seen Stones live in Paris on every tour since LICKS in 2003. Probably my favourite city to watch them play. The crowd has always been great and the band has played some magnificent concerts at Stade de France IMO. The weather is usually great too. I'll defintely go again if they turn up in Paris again.

Stade de France is a (france) commercial island in St. Denis near Paris.
Saw The Stones there once in 2007. Great show. Won't go to this area again.
Have fun everybody!!!

July 14 Nijmegen Goffertpark?
okay, 2 days before:
July 12 Guns N Roses (Golden Circle 135 Euro)
So the Stones can use the same steel construction.

About the Stade de France, in the north of Paris. I used to go there alone for concerts and I lived at the opposite in the south west of Paris... I agree with the messages that said don't stay in the Saint-Denis area.
At the end of the show, just follow the crowd back to the RER or the métro.
I prefer the métro. So it's very easy and you quickly arrive in some good parts of Paris. You can choose a hotel along the line n°13, preferably in Paris "intra-muros"
This can help:

Champs-Elysées area being very expensive, and not so nice to stay, if it was for me, I'd prefer to stay around the Duroc, Gaité, Montparnasse, Pernety, Plaisance stations. Maybe also La Fourche and Place de Clichy for those who want to be near Montmartre (but not in Montmartre).

In Summer 2017, The Rolling Stones will NOT play at the following venues on the stated dates (U2 are playing the Joshua Tree in full):
Sat Jul 8 London UK Twickenham Stadium
Wed Jul 12 Berlin DE Olympic Stadium
Sat Jul 15 Rome IT Olympic Stadium
Tue Jul 18 Barcelona ES Olympic Stadium
Sat Jul 22 Dublin IE Croke Park
Tue Jul 25 Paris FR Stade De France
Sat Jul 29 Amsterdam NL Amsterdam Arena
Tue Aug 1 Brussels BE Stade Roi-Baudoin
So we can eliminate them from the guessing. I'll probably be at the U2 show in Twickenham. I wonder why they're playing at Twickenham ? Wembley isn't booked for that date yet. Hmmmm...
Bono and Mick are good mates so I'd be very surprised if they both played the same city on the same night. Unless the Stones are doing Sunday. I'd expect London to be the final show of the Stones' tour as it's their home city.
That means no way for a Stones show in Berlin this summer IMHO. U2 and RS attract 70% the same 'casual' fans, both band's in Berlin at the same time could mean poor sales for both.
