. I am in Pamplona now so you may pass me on the trail. Slow walker here.I'm taking off tomorrow for Paris, and will be kicking around there for a few days (never been!) before then taking a train to Tournus.
My plan is then to fly from Lyon to Madrid, and from there, get to Pamplona and start a walk.
I've had a hard time planning this trip, for many reasons, but I'm very, very glad to be going!
Hope to see some of you out walking.
Best of wishes for your trip. I flew into Madrid a year ago tomorrow for my first Camino. Think about it every day. Next time, I plan on flying to Paris to begin also. Just so much to see! I also think you're going at the perfect time of the year. I share your excitement. Keep us posted on your experience. Please convince me to make another trip sooner rather than later! PLEASE! Buen Camino.

Hi Deb,
Buen Camino and enjoy Paris. You may remember, we originally chatted before your first Camino as I was exactly two years behind you, always intending to start, after retirement, on 1st October 2017. Well, I retired as planned last week and I fly out for Paris tonight, on track to start Sunday as originally planned. The two years just flew by! Anyway, we might meet up en route; you never know.....
Travel safely....
It is quite something going up at night as well. Be careful the city will make you want to stayYou guys would’ve laughed our heads off to see me getting messed up on the subway from the airport to my hotel! I stood on the wrong side of the platform. Good heavens, must stop following random people! Ha ha! Anyway, I’m in amazing Paris, and seeing the Eiffel tower for the first time just rocked me back on my heels. ... noon Paris time, and 3 AM my time at home. That means it’s time to go take a walk to the Eiffel Tower!
The Musee D'Orsay was my favorite art museum, too!Enjoy, Deb! So many good moments ahead of you....
If you have a chance to visit Musée D'Orsay I'd highly recommend it.
Take care and maybe see you here again. Buen Camino!
Faith

Yes, you almost have to pinch yourself to believe it's real that you are looking up at the Eiffel Tower after seeing pictures of it our whole lives.You guys would’ve laughed our heads off to see me getting messed up on the subway from the airport to my hotel!

That is wonderful! I hope you enjoy Paris - beauty wrapped in history! I remember I flew into Paris prior to my first camino and decided to walk from Gare du Nord to Gare Montparnasse. I had 2 hours before my train left and thought it would be a great way to ease into my walk and see a little of Paris! What could go wrong? Well, I walked in exactly the wrong direction for the first half hour!!I'm taking off tomorrow for Paris, and will be kicking around there for a few days (never been!) before then taking a train to Tournus.

I have walked through those underground Roman ruins too! Incredible what is down there! The only reason why I initially even went was because the line to get in to Notre Dame was too long....what a surprise I found! So happy for the hordes who caused me to divert!CaminoDebrita,
What a happy lady you must be as you travel to Paris for the first time as well as to follow another camino!
I wish you Bon voyage, Buen camino.
Be sure to check out these earlier Forum threads for more about pilgrim sites in Paris and the camino in Paris.
When on the parvis or place facing the Notre Dame cathedral below you underground lie Roman ruins and visible to your right across the Seine begins the medieval rue Saint Jacques which pilgrims followed to leave the city; walk it a bit and ponder history.
Take a deep breath, relax and just enjoy it! As an American who has lived more than 35 years in France both in Paris and Champagne even after all that time for me as Thomas Jefferson wrote “a walk about Paris will provide lessons in history, beauty, and in the point of life.”
Godspeed and in the truest sense, Ultreia!
Ah, my.... Sitting on Paris' Petit Pont in the Summer of 1977 I underwent a profoundly meaningful 'spiritual awakening'. (Since that moment I have always thought well of Paris.) And from Paris I made a bee-line to Lourdes, and then on to SdeC -- good places to process such things.I'm taking off tomorrow for Paris, and will be kicking around there for a few days (never been!) before then taking a train to Tournus.
