I am going to start my first Camino end of July thru first week of September. I would like to know what's the best way to get to St. Jean Pied de Port from CDG airport Paris. Your input is greatly appreciated. Thank you for making this video.
On our first Camino we flew into CDG, then took the TGV to Bayonne, then a local train to SJPP. To check train times a free app we like is Rome2Rio. Also a website, you plug in any departure city and destination city and it displays all the transportation that goes between the two points you tell it. For the trains and buses, it links to the correct company that provides the service, and you can explore the schedules. It also gives approximate costs. Very useful tool. We did discover when we planned to use the train (several years ago) we could not make a reservation from the US. We were told it was because the European companies couldn't be assured that they would be paid by our US credit card company. I don't know if that has changed, or if the reason given to us was true. Some people also take a commuter flight from Paris, but check out what airport those flights depart from. The person I recall flew from Paris to Biarritz, then from there to SJPP, either by bus or taxi. Hope this helps you figure out your itinerary. Buen Camino!
