[QUOTE="Kanga, post: 191217, member: 143"] Yes, Leandra, TGV is the very fast train operated by the French railway company SNCF. You can book and buy tickets online using the SNCF website here : [url]http://en.voyages-sncf.com/en/[/url] There can be a HUGE difference in price between different times of departure and when you purchase your ticket. I use the fare finder on the SNCF website. Avoid agents like RailEurope - you'll pay far more. Take care that you are getting a direct TGV train. Be kind to yourself and allow plenty of time for connections - I missed the train once because I cut transfer times too short. It's a long plane trip from OZ and you'll be jet lagged - for me that means not thinking straight and going slightly mad! Have a relax, enjoy the ambience. Paris traffic is a nightmare so use the suburban train and metro to get into the city and once you are in the centre walk as much as you can. Paris is best seen on foot and if you are carrying your pack you will soon know if it's too heavy! Prepare before you leave by checking the routes, maybe downloading a free App for the metro and trains. If you have the option of catching the TGV direct from the airport to Bayonne you may pay more for the ticket but you will save the accommodation cost. It is less stressful than going into Paris. It really depends on how much time you have - don't cut into your Camino walking time on any account. It's much better to have time left over at the end for sightseeing than to push yourself while walking. If you do have unlimited time and can afford it, stay in Paris 2 nights. IMO! [/QUOTE]
