If that flight operates on time, that should give you plenty of time to get to your hotel and the concert venue.
The airport bus from La Defense to BVA takes 90 minutes; the 9:00 am bus should get you to BVA by 10:30 am.
Ah. The only one I see on the Sunday of the concert is in the evening. I can do the AF one 1120-1150, but I'm just anxious about flight delays. The irony of course is that the train will cost more than the flight. I think I should probably book the AF one with points and just not use it if the train works out. I will feel more relaxed going by train, assuming no major engineering work on the line.
