5 hours! Last minute questions!

I am boarding my flight in 5 and a half hours! Last minute panic detail is my phone. I lost the sim card! Is it easy to find a place in Paris that sells international sim cards? Maybe at the Charles de Gaulle airport? I really didn't want to waste any of my short time in Paris trying to find a sim card.

Also, did anyone have any trouble with their walking sticks at the airport? Mine are sort of sticking out.

Thanks so much!

€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
Get a Spanish sim when you get to Pamplona. Sticks should not be a problem. If you can get some kitchen cling wrap and wrap your rucksack and sticks it will be safe and secure. Enjoy the journey.
Buen Camino.
 
Thanks Wayfarer. That's what I figured would have to happen. It's mostly to keep my folks from freaking out, although they are freaking out now knowing they won't be hearing from me for a few days. I'd just as soon not have a phone at all.
Thanks for the quick response!

Buen Camino!
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
My stick was on the outside of my pack last time, although it probably would have fitted inside if necessary. They checked it through separately and it arrived on the carousel for 'unusual baggage' or whatever the term is.

Have a wonderful time Laura-Lee. Good times lie ahead!
 
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
