After flying Australia to Paris and then trains from the airport to SJPdP arriving late afternoon. I eased my way in by spending 2 nights there before walking to Orison day 1 then to Ronscenvalles for day 2. Helped with the jet lag and time difference.
Thanks Lynda, who'd you fly with? I'm flying with Etihad from Melbourne, but I'm not sure what terminal I'll be flying into at Paris. I've done a search and the airport website shows Etihad flying into 2 terminals at CDG. If I didn't have to prepurchase my train ticket I probably wouldn't be...
Thanks Whariwharangi, I'm gonna have to check out Montparnasse. When I searched CdG to SJPDP there were only two train times per day, didn't realise there were more options. So thanks.
Hi all,
I arrive at Paris Charles de Gaulle at 7.55am on Monday 29 August and want to catch the train from there to Saint Jean. The last train leaves at 10.16am. Is this enough time to get through customs and immigration and still make the train??
Thanks in advance
Thanks Kanga. Might need to rethink the number of nights then or book 2 nights and see how I feel. Only problem is how flexible are they at Orisson with bookings. I was going to split the first leg and only goes as far as there on the first day.
Non existent William. Unfortunately learning other languages wasn't a priority in Oz when I was at School. It has since changed but too late for me to pick up another language with ease. Hence my struggling with Spanish.
Does anyone know whether you can stay multiple nights in any alberge in Saint Jean? I arrive late on 29 August from Oz and want to stay in Saint Jean a few nights before starting to get myself on European time etc after 24+ hours of travel.
