OK, so you are planning on travelling First class on a Canadian train operating in France that is making an impossible journey because trains from Paris don't go to St Jean. Apart from that you should be fine. Sorry @WayneShepard, I'll now try to be helpful. The French railway systems are operated by SNCF. They have English language options on their websites. You can maximise your options by searching for trains from Paris Montparnasse to Bayonne. In Bayonne you switch to a local comuter train for which advance bookings are not required and an attempt to secure one will probably b*gger up your booking attempt.Does anyone have a suggestion for reasonable transportation from Paris to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port? We are travelling Monday, Sept 25, 2023. The best I could find is a one-way $220 (Canadian) rail ticket. And it arrives at 18:15. Somehow I expected something better. Thanks

You are right. Thanks for the support!Yes, I think the OP means in Canadian dollars and not a Canadian train.
Rome2Rio site will give you several options. I use it often when I'm in Europe. IF you arrive in SJPP late at night it will be difficult to find lodging as everything closes early. I had to sleep in the campground with a blanket and tarp and it was quite cold in April when I went.Does anyone have a suggestion for reasonable transportation from Paris to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port?

I travelled by bus from Paris to Bayonne overnight. Long and tedious but reasonably cheap. Then either train or bus to SJPDP not a long journey.Does anyone have a suggestion for reasonable transportation from Paris to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port? We are travelling Monday, Sept 25, 2023.

Bonjour / Bonsoir @WayneShepard ... as you do not specify / indicate if you are looking for a connection from central Paris, or from the airport, note that there is also a direct train from Paris CDG airport to Bordeaux [and beyond] where you then must make the connection to Bayonne and onward to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port ... check it out on the SNCF Connect app or Trainline ... very convenient if you are flying in to CDG and looking to get to StJPP in quick time with minimal connectionsDoes anyone have a suggestion for reasonable transportation from Paris to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port?
