Hello everyone,
My name is Lara, and I'm arriving on August 1st in Paris to begin my adventure on the Camino de Santiago. I'm so very excited about the trip and have been reading a bit of this forum everday and found it very helpful. I have a few questions and would greatly appreciate your advice.
1) How many days should I allow to hike from SJPP to Roncevalles? I'm meeting a cousin there and just want to make sure I don't plan on doing something in one day that will actually take two
2) I'll be flying into Paris and starting my journey in St. Jean Pied-de-Port. I'm having problems figuring out transportation from the airport to SJPP and would appreciate any tips any of you can give me regarding the most simple way to get there that will take the least amount of time.
My flight arrives into Charles De Gaulle airport at 8:35am. I did find a train that leaves around 1pm from 'AEROPORT CDG 2 TGV' that will take me to Bayonne and then on to SJPP but I won't arrive in SJPP until around 10pm. I hope to find a way to arrive during the daytime instead. Any suggestions?
Also, is the 'AEROPORT CDG 2 TVG' station actually located in the De Gaulle airport?
And finally, I would have a half hour from arrival in Bayonne until the train departs to SJPP. Does anyone know if that is enough time to make the connection?
Sorry for all of these questions, but I can't seem to find the answers on the French rail SNCF.com site. If any of you think flying out of Paris might be better than taking a train, please let me know.
Thanks so much for your help.
Lara
