The Rolling Stones in Paris

I found out on a Monday afternoon that the Rolling Stones were playing in Paris on Friday. I had been so keen to see them for a long time. On Tuesday I made some phone calls and I landed a last minute VIP ticket for the show in Paris for Friday.

I was so excited to see the Stones. I booked a my train ticket right away. The night before the trip I decided to dye my hair red with a temporary dye. Friday morning I took the EuroStar over to Paris. As soon as I arrived to Paris, I went shopping. I bought some beautiful stuff for the Summer. Paris has the best selection for women when it comes to fashion. Then I went home quickly to change and headed out to see the Rolling Stones. The Struts were playing before the Stones.

The boys were about 20 years old and they wore weird make up. The singer reminded me of Freddy Mercury. His face was all made up and he had long hair. I did not think their music was very good. While we were waiting for the Stones, we were sipping beer from a Rolling Stones plastic cup.

We were chatting with others in the VIP area. There was a young girl who was dressed with the Rolling Stones tongue all over on her.

She had it on her boots, in her hair, she had some tattoos as well. Around 9pm the Rolling Stones hit the stage and the Stadium went crazy. Mick Jagger is certainly a very energetic performer despite of his old age. The show was absolutely amazing. They played many of their old hits. My favourite songs were Wild Horses and You Can’t Always Get What You Want of the night. They had a choir to introduce You Can’t Always get What You Want. It was so beautiful. In the end he closed the concert with Satisfaction. The concert was fantastic. I was so thrilled to be there. Unfortunately the French did not have the proper infrastructure to handle massive amount of people after an event like this and thousands of people were standing on the street trying to get into the metro for hours. It was nothing like I had ever experienced before. It took about 3 hours to get home. After the challenging journey home, I managed to get back by around 2am.

 

 

The next day I woke up and got out to experience Paris a bit. Went around the Opera to do some more shopping. Went to Gallerie Lafayette.

The building was so beautiful. I love going there. for shopping Then I hang around the neighbourhood and I decided to finish the day at the Centre Pompidou. Walking around Paris was great. I discovered so many art pieces of the street artist Space Invader.
 I also saw Montmartre in the distance.

I found some cool bakeries that made some funny buns.

I finished the tour at the Hotel de Ville which is one of my favourite buildings in Paris. Later I met up with some friends for dinner. We sat outside on the terrace of a restaurant and we were playing card games. It was great fun! I really enjoyed it. It was great to see friends, have some delicious French food and shop in Paris. Next morning I took the Eurostar back from Gare du Nord to St Pancras International in London. It was a great weekend!
