    I am over in Paris on business on May 15th . I land in CDG at 18:25

    Peter Doherty is playing that night in the Bataclan . Tickets say 7:00 but I presume like the Olympia etc over here that he wouldn't be on stage until 21:00?

    Was thinking of hotfooting it in a taxi ?

    Anyone familiar with gigs in France/Paris regarding stage times?

    Depending on the act, there's usually at least one support act on like here - so you'll probably be fine.

    For sanity sake, take the RER and Metro.

    as opposed to a taxi?

    Taxis in Paris are super expensive and the metro is cheap and easy. But if you don't care about that get a taxi. Or if you can get work to pay for it ;)

    I presume doors open at 7 PM and the support act is probably on at 8 or 8.30 and the main act at 9.30 or 10 PM, so same as Ireland that way really.

    Paris traffic at that hour of the evening can be very bad also.
