Paris CdG to Paris Gare Austerlitz

[Cashpat]

Hi, I arrive in Paris Charles de Gaulle airport at 20.50 PM on a Sunday evening in June of this year. I would like to connect with the overnight train from Paris Gare Austerlitz direct to Bayonne at 21.54 on the same evening. This is a preferred option given it cancels the need for an overnight stay in Paris or the two-stop journey from Paris later in the evening. With arrival at Bayonne expected around 08.00am on 3rd of June then this bodes well for an early arrival in SJPP and a start to my Camino.

Can someone advise whether or not this is a realistic plan given potential for dely to flight time, waiting for the rucksack at the airport conveyor belt and such things as the metro connection times between airport and Austerlitz?

No, it's not realistic. It might take you most of an hour just to exit the airport and find your way onto the RER or bus/taxi- then you have travel time into Paris and finding your way onto the right platform at Gare Austerlitz. Do your already tired body a favour and have a sleep before you go on your next form of transport.

Thanks Margaret for taking the trouble to reply, and the advice is clear: to think again.
