Travel Suggestions

You are welcome to join us for the whole trip or pick dates that work for you! When booking plane tickets, be sure to account for the loss of travel time (a day) in traveling to Europe. We've listed below some options for travel that have proved to work well for us. For train travel in France, use SNCF connect. For train travel in Spain, use Renfe.

From SFO/LAX to CDG (Paris):

Option #1: Take a train from Paris to St. Jean Pied de Port. It is a 6-8 hour train ride, but very scenic. Enjoy the ride over a glass of wine and good company!

Option #2: Take a plane from Paris to Bordeaux, then a 3 hour train ride to St. Jean Pied de Port.

Traveling back to SFO/LAX:

We recommend taking the train from Burgos to Madrid, then flying from Madrid to SFO/LAX.
