Hi CathyJ, Hope you have a great trip. Please beware the jet lag blues. Buen Camino.Hi Billy, I arrive in Paris on the 12th April and have booked a flight to Biarritz with Easyjet for 50 Euros. The flight leaves CDG at 10.50am, that might work for you. It arrives 12.15 which should allow time for a train connection, otherwise I am planning on doing the taxi share, mentioned above, with Express Bourricot. They are not taking bookings for this until January though. This should allow for an afternoon arrival in SJPP. I'm going to have a day there and start walking on the 14th. Might see you along the way
Yes, it's a loooong way! I can only speak from my personal experience having been round the planet a few times. This year I spent a week in Paris before heading to St Jean and found I was a bit "disoriented" for the first few days. That wasn't a problem trudging around the streets of Paris. Just need to pay close attention to way markers on the CF for the first couple of days, especially if you are going via Route de Napoleon. You need to have your wits about you up there. Bon chance.Thanks, as a fellow Aussie you are obviously aware of that awfully long time we have to spend stuck in an airline seat! I have allowed my arrival afternoon/night and another whole day before hitting the road, hopefully that should be enough

Hi Thornley, I know it would be a tight connection, he actually has 1 hour 35 mins but yes, it could still be tricky. Fortunately my flight gets into Paris at 7.45am which is a lot more comfortable. I will look into the train once the timetable is available, it's still an option. I am in the process of trying to book at Orrisson but the communication is slow. I have been torn between stopping and walking through but thought I would book anyway, if I want to keep going I'm sure someone will happy to take the bed. Thanks for your advice
It is my understanding that Orrisson is closed until April 1, 2016. Somebody correct me if I am mistaken.Hi Thornley, I know it would be a tight connection, he actually has 1 hour 35 mins but yes, it could still be tricky.

I have requested (by email) a place for April 14 and did get a reply saying they would require a paypal payment but no instructions on how/who to pay. I have asked for instructions and am waiting for a further replyIt is my understanding that Orrisson is closed until April 1, 2016. Somebody correct me if I am mistaken.
