The 8:10 from the Charles de Gaulle airport to Bayonne and onto Saint Jean.Just for clarification. The 8.10 train from where?
I am looking at all options. I know once we get on the trail, all of this will melt away.That does not leave a lot of time to get through customs and collect luggage if needed. Flights from CDG to Biarritz (Bayonne) are reasonable when booked in advance and a train from Bayonne to SJPdP or a shared taxi would get you in by mid day.
Buen Camino!
It looks like there is a train out of CDG at 12:38 to Byonne and a taxi from there.It is a challenge getting to SJPP in a single day. I’ve done it, but the stars were all aligned for me that day.The problems, as well stated above, are things out of your control. Primarily, will your plane arrive on time and how long will be the customs line? Catching the 8:10 train is cutting it close. I just arrived in Mexico City yesterday. We were an hour late! Not too bad, but if we had had connections, we might not have made them. No predictability to travel these days. Therefore, a couple ideas to offer. Later trains. Have you looked at the schedule out of the Gare Montparnasse? There has been a late morning train in the past to Bayonne where you could still catch the local commuter rail to SJPP. Or, get as far as Bayonne, spend the night, and go into SJPP on the first morning train. Another option, as mentioned above, spend your first night in Paris, particularly if you’ve never been there, and train south in the morning. In any case, as mentioned above, don’t check your luggage. Be able to get off the plane and head out as quickly as you need to. From my experience at CDG, find a later leaving train. Good luck and Buen Camino.
Highly doubtful. Luggage alone will take at least half an hour.We are starting the Camino Frances the 8th of September 2022. Flying into Paris and making our way to Saint Jean.
My question is:
How long does it take to deplane and clear customs at the Charles De Gaulle Airport in Paris. We arrive at 6:50 am and hope to catch the 8:10 train.
Comments are much appreciated.

ThanksHighly doubtful. Luggage alone will take at least half an hour.
You can chalk that up to our ignorance. Everything is already planned and paid. We will make the best of it.@SAFCayman if you do not want to travel into Paris, the Airport Ibis is a reasonably priced alternative I’ve used a few times. I’m often exhausted after the long flight from Australia. Paris is one of my favourite cities in the world but for me is not worth the hassle for less than 24 hours.
