    Santiago to Finisterre

    It is not silly. It is difficult for me to drive on the left side, in Great Britain. Particularly when I have to turn left, sometimes I realize that I am on the right side, the wrong one. Another difficulty is to handle the gear lever with the left hand. Therefore, if you choose to rent a car...

    Suggestions for walks in France accessible by bus or train

    I suggest to begin Podiensis: - Start from Le Puy (accessible in train) - Walk at least until Conques - Then you can stop getting a train at Decazeville, or walk until Figeac, or walk until Cahors (but this means more than 150km from Le Puy). In each of this towns you will find a railway station.

    Backpacks Check-in or carry-on

    Kudos to Qatar Airway for being in phase with Camino standards !

    Backpacks Check-in or carry-on

    If you bring poles, you have no choice: you have to check them in. Do not worry about luggage lost: Qatar Airways is a good reputation company. I advice to check in for such a long flight.

    ALSA missed connection insurance

    No. What does it provide ? Does it give your money back if you miss the connection ? Pay for a taxi ?

    O Pedrouzo to Santiago de Compostela

    Never heard about a train, never have seen it. However there is a bus (Monbus, 45 mn): https://www.rome2rio.com/map/O-Pedrouzo/Santiago-de-Compostela#r/Bus/s/0

    I'm looking for accommodations around CDG airport, Paris

    Perhaps you should read this site: https://www.parisaeroport.fr/en/charles-de-gaulle-airport What do you mean by "late at night" ? If you plan to take a train to SJPP the day after, perhaps you should look for accomodation inside Paris ?

    Ryanair Carry-On Dilemma: Need Your Advice!

    Ryanair extra cost for registered luggage are not so high. You can even carry poles, provided they are inside your backpack.

    France to launch summer rail pass in 2024

    It would be surprising that such an advantage would be reserved to french travellers only. For sure it is for anybody travelling in France.

    How do I get from Charles De Gaulle airport in Paris to the Montparnasse train station ?

    Indeed. Massy-Palaiseau is a station in the southern suburbs of Paris. Montparnasse is a station inside Paris.

    Starting Le Puy on Sat

    From my point of view the major reason for going to the mass (with pilgrims blessing) do not require french: - the number of pilgrims from various origin and various believing. - the friendliness of the ceremony - the surprise at the end (I will not tell you in order to keep it a surprise !)

    Cruise Ship After the Camino

    The only ship which can be allowed after the Camino is a stone boat, like the one which is said to have brought the relics of St James in Galicia...

    Bus route besides alsa?

    I am afraid than Boadilla del Camino is to small to see a bus... In Fromista you can get one. If your wife manage to walk until Canal de Castilla (It should be about 2 kms from Boadilla), there you can get a boat to Fromista...

    Le Puy to El Norte- Gr10

    An alternative is to take "Voie de la Nive" ("Nive way") in reverse to walk from SJPP to Hendaye/Irun. https://www.aucoeurduchemin.org/voies-jacquaires-dans-les-pyrenees-atlantiques-sud-landes-et-euskadi/voie-nive-bidassoa-st-jean-p-port-hendaye-irun/?lang=en

    From Paris to SJPD

    If you do not want stop in Paris you can take the train directly in CGD airport station: https://www.sncf-connect.com/

    Efficiency from Madrid to Leon

    Yes, there is a bus station: it is called "Madrid Barajas". You can there take a bus Alsa to León, for instance.

    Bus from San Sebastián to Biarritz

    Another option is to take the Euskotren from San Sebastian to Hendaye (no need to pre-book tickets). Then you can take either a taxi (20 mn) or a bus to Biarritz airport: Aéroport-de-Biarritz-BIQ

    Paris to Bayonne October

    From Paris Montparnasse, you can easily reach Bayonne by train (typically a TGV), and from Bayonne, SJPP by train as well (namely a TER, local train). It takes between 6 or 7 hours: Form to find a train in France (regarding October 2023 it is a bit early to book a seat, you have to try around...

    20 hours in Paris

    Unfortunately Roissy CDG is not in a nice area. If you have just some hours in Paris, my advice is to visit the Holy Chapel (Sainte Chapelle in Ile de la Cité). It is a lovely church with beautiful stained glasses.
