Using site www.rome2rio.Hello all,
I fly into CDG on June 23 (5:00pm) and don't want to spend any time in Paris as I want to maximize my time on the GR65. Any recommendations on the most efficient way to get to Le Puy? Thanks for weighing in!
It's tough timing. You probably couldn't catch the 6pm train to Lyon from the airport, so either you need to make the trip into the city, or wait until the 8pm train, which will get you into Lyon at 10pm. From there, you're still 2.5 hours from Le Puy, but I imagine you'd want to sleep.Hello all,

Hi againHello all,

Likewise - the experience at this starting point.. I consider all this to be 'part of the way' and if you aren't stretched for time., I'd consider staying to see Le Puy and go to the morning mass. It's a wonderful exit and beginning. It will be right for you, whichever way you do it.You would miss the Le Puy experience, though, and that morning mass can be a great way to kick off the pilgrimage. I'd spend the day there and then head out the following morning.
Yes, I booked a flight to Lyon. I arrive there at 11pm, so I guess that I will overnight there and then bus or train to Le Puy and then start walking!You have probably already booked your ticket, but if not, you could consider flying into Lyon?
Or change your ticket so it includes the internal flight to Lyon?
This is a good point. Although I have to be back in Paris on July 24 so I have about 28 possible walking days so I do feel a bit stretched for time.Likewise - the experience at this starting point..

Great! This is perfect!I took the TGV train from Paris to Lyon then took a BlaBlaCar from Lyon direct to Le Puy. All very easy once you have the BlaBlaCar app. Create an alert on the app for Lyon to Le Puy and you’ll start receiving different options for people going that direction with room in their cars within two weeks of your date. You won’t get responses earlier than two weeks before.
My friend had paid SO much money for a taxi which I just couldn’t bring myself to do, and he couldn’t believe that I only spent about €6!
I would highly recommend you not rush anything. You are taking a very long flight and a 9 hour time change. I have no idea of your fitness level or your age but that first week out of Le Puy is beautiful but is definitely not a walk in the park. Enjoy Le Puy it is beautiful and rest a little before your Camino. I think you will be glad you recharged your battery before beginning.Hi again
You mention you want to maximise your time available to use on the route.
Will you be short of time ?
I arrived by plane to Lyon after a delay and missed out on spending any time there. I had booked accommodation for the night.. and train to Le Puy the following morning. In hindsight I wish I'd allowed time to see Lyon. Paris is such a hub and is often a place that you will get a chance to visit more often so missing spending time there 'on this occasion' is understandable.

Hi Cleigh,We are arriving in Paris CDG on Sept 1st and will also be travelling to Le Puy to start walking on Sept 4th. We are spending the night at CDG (points) and then would like to train to Le Puy on the 2nd. Is the train right at CDG? A bit of a nervous Nellie so would like this buttoned up before we go. ie: transferring etc. When on the rome2Rio site it takes me to a bus service. Any advice greatly appreciated!
