Also arrived in Paris with no baggage...

[Alice Paton]

Myself and my mother arrived in Paris yesterday (02/09/2016). We have not received either of our bags yet, and have no news that it is found.
We have a very early flight from Orly airport to Biarritz, France tomorrow (04/09/2016) at 7:10am.
We have not booked accommodation yet and do not have an address for our luggage.
We are unsure of what to do, to stay in Biarritz or coninute on. We are thinking of staying in Biaritz for sunday night and hope our bag comes then.
We have no Europe Sim and cannot be connected via mobile phone, only email.
We are on a tight budget so we are trying to find cheap places close to the city.
HELP!!

Try to contact @biarritzdon Perhaps he can help! Keep up your hope, most lost bags are delivered in 24-48h. I know it is difficult, but try not to panic! Buen Camino, SY

I'm no help at all with logistics, but saying a prayer and sending all good wishes your way, Alice!
May you and your Mom be reunited with your bags very soon.

Delayed bags almost always arrive within a day or two, so I would be inclined to wait in Biarritz or Bayonne. The Hotel Restaurant Monte Carlo is reasonably priced and right by the Bayonne train station.

If you wish to follow C clearly's helpful suggestion here is the web with contact info for Hotel/Restaurant Monte Carlo in Bayonne.

Good luck and Buen camino!

Checking your pack continues to be a gamble.

Hopefully this will quickly be resolved.

 

[Alice Paton]

I have checked online claim and it says luggage in delivery process to our hotel in Biarritz! Let's hope this arrives tonight or tomorrow! Fingers crossed.
I am looking forward to receiving our bags and continuing on to Saint Jean Pied de Port!

 

[grayland]

Great news!

 

[SYates]

Wonderful news! Buen Camino, SY

Thanks for the good news...and buen Camino!

 

[Alice Paton]

It will be turning up tomorrow apparently. Could not give us a time. Thank you all for your best wishes, it has helped me remain calm!
If we recieve this tomorrow before lunch, or before any late buses, and decide to continue to Saint Jean, are there any available beds at albergues in Saint Jean?

Thank you all again!

Once you get there, go directly to the Pilgrim's office and they can steer you in the right direction.
Buen Camino, you two!

Glad to learn that your bags are located!

When you do arrive in SJPdP go directly to the Pilgrim Office at 39 rue de La Citadelle which is on the camino. The volunteers can help find you bunks in àn albergue oŕ regular tourist accommodation. In addition they offer Credentials, shells and current weather conditions for the camino as well as a handy list of most albergues.
The office open every day of the year is also a great place to meet/greet other pilgrims.

Buen camino to both of you!

After the recovery of your bags the Camino will also provide a bed for you ;-) Trust and carry on! Buen Camino, Sy

 

[Alice Paton]

After checking out and waiting near by hotel all day we rang again and our bag will be here tomorrow.... Ahhhh. Hoping we can trust their judgement. Cannot log into online claim anymore. Very frustrated and need to find a bed to sleep in tonight close to this hotel where it will be delivered...

 

[Christian Hiriart]

Hope you get your bags soon Alice.

Buen Camino

 

[Alice Paton]

We have received our bags! Currently waiting for the 18:06pm train to Saint Jean Pied De Port! HOORAY!!

Hi, Alice,

Glad to hear all is well and that your adventure can really take off.
In another post I saw that there will be a forum member @miriamaok on the same train. How many chances for this are there

Ultreia!

 

[miriamaok]

Yes I'm here! At the station. Memorising the contents of Relay shop! Can't buy anything as will only add to pack weight. Come say hi! I've got a blue backpack and a blue tote bag.?

 

[VNwalking]

Finally. Wonderful news.
Buen caminos and happy meetings to all!

 

[miriamaok]

We shared a lovely train ride, picking up another Aussie along the way. I had accommodation booked so we parted ways in the way into town. Alice and her mum (and their bags) were heading to the Pilgrims Office.

 

[SYates]

Glad to hear it and Buen Camino, SY

Loving the Camino so far. Apart from very sore feet and shoulders but all is okay. At Pamolona, rest day today. We were going to send unwanted/heavy things on to santiago but fedex is only on monday. Is there a service that can transport our bags for tomorrow? I feel I will not make the climb out of Pamplona.

One transport service that you might consider is the Correos. See more here.

Ask your host/hospitalero to help you book them tonight for pick up tomorrow.

Good luck and Buen camino!
