Hotels for Orelsan

French rap doesn't get bigger than this, and a December weeknight arena show is exactly the kind of occasion where fans travel from well beyond the city to be in the room. Expect a crowd who know every line, a set built on years of chart-topping albums, and the kind of collective singing-back that only happens when an artist has become part of the culture rather than just topped it for a season. A midweek date means an early finish is unlikely, so plan for a late one.

In the Bercy district of eastern Paris, the Accor Arena is the city's leading indoor venue, its distinctive sloping green roof hosting global music tours, tennis and other sport. The surrounding area blends riverside walks along the Seine with the parks, cinemas and restaurants of Bercy Village. Métro lines 6 and 14 stop right by the arena, linking quickly across the city. Staying nearby or centrally in Paris lets you enjoy the neighbourhood before a show and ride the Métro back with ease.
