getting to St Jean from Charles de Gaulle

[Ding Gowar]

I arrive at CDG on 5th Sept, at 13.30. I plan on spending the night at an airport hotel, then catching the train to Bayonne, then bus to St Jean -Pied-de-Port, where I have booked accommodation for the 6th Sept. Is this a good idea? Any advice would be much appreciated!

Hi, this May I booked a flight from Orly to Biarritz, booked a taxi with Bourricott Express from Biarritz to SJPP. Worked out just fine.

I know someone who did this and it was fine. I flew via Paris to Bordeaux, and then caught the train to Bayonne, and then the bus to SJ from there. Whatever route you choose, travel in Europe is so easy.

Can't imagine spending all those hours at the airport when you could be in Paris.

True - actually watching Midnight in Paris at the moment wonder into old Paris for the afternoon, take in some of the sights. I wish I had.

Paris is a fabulous city, an afternoon / evening there would be fun. Alternatively, maybe you could connect in CDG to a train to Bordeaux then Bayonne, spending a night there, a nice french town. An easy trip to St Jean PDP the next day. Whatever you choose, all is good.

In case you DO decide to spend some time in Paris read what is written in this earlier recent post with further links to Paris camino sites.
