<human>: Condense the text into a few key points

Hi there,

I am headed to France in June 2016 for the Euro 2016 soccer tournament, along with 2 friends (all American). We're spending two days in Paris before traveling to St. Etienne and then Marseille by train. We are very excited!

I was hoping for some advice on our [hotel] ( in St. Etienne. We are not familiar with the area, and it is hard to find reviews of this hotel. Many have been booked already for the game that evening. How should we safely get around the city? (To and from stadium, train station, city centre, etc.)? Any Redditors going to this game? What are the things we should see in town on a one-night stay (6/17-6/18)?

In Marseille, we will be staying in an AirBNB apartment very near the stadium. Is this a safe/walkable area? Advice on safe transportation methods in Marseille as well as any other tips for a visitor would be greatly appreciated. As above, what are some things we should prioritize seeing on a two-night stay (6/18-6/20)?
