    Wooden hiking pole in TGV / Eurostar? Allowed / forbidden?

    I’ve travelled through Paris several times (also to Bayonne/Hendaye) and never saw anyone checking the travellers belongings. Sure you will need to scan your ticket before being allowed onto the platform at Montparnasse but that should be all. I have never travelled on the Thalys so I don’t...

    Hi all The Caminobug has hit me again and since I got the opportunity to take off from work for 4+ weeks around Christmas, I’m thinking about a spontaneous Camino, possibly the VdlP starting from Seville or maybe even Cádiz. I’ve walked the VdlP before (spring), so I’m aware of what to expect...
