Check-out time was 10:00 a.m., but my train to Paris didn't leave until 2:00 p.m. I walked to the Metro station and took the subway to the train station. Looked around at nearby restaurants and picked a burger place just a bit down the street.

Walked back to the train station and still had over an hour before my train. Once it arrived, it was a pretty quick ride to Paris -- not many stops. Once in Paris I needed to buy a ticket for the Metro. There was a huge slug of people looking to buy Metro tickets at the station, and a handful of the kiosks were out of order. I stood in line for a total of fifty minutes at eight kiosks before I was finally able to buy a ticket. Took the Metro 14 line to the stop nearest my hotel. To be close to the stadium, I picked a hotel in the suburb of Saint Ouen. (I guess it's officially called Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine now.) It's the next suburb over from Saint Denis, which is where the stadium is. A twelve-minute walk from the Metro station to the hotel and a smooth check-in process wrapped up the day.
