Hi 1st time Camino walker.. Doing the Frances. Hoping to start from SJPDP around the 19th/20th May. Any hints in regards to getting from Paris to St J.
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

We will be three days ahead of you and we will be going by train. This is a first for us as we have always flown into Biarritz before.
 
Train from Montparnasse to Biarritz, local train to SJPP. Super easy.

I'm flying in/out of London from Alaska to spend a month with a friend before meeting up with another friend to walk the Camino. We are purposely taking trains from London to SJPP for fun (takes longer, more expensive but TRAINS! :D ) So we have to take the Eurostar to Paris and then like the others say, you take off from Montparnasse station in Paris.

My itinerary looks like this:
Montparnasse to Bayonne
An hour and some "layover" in Bayonne, switch trains
Bayonne to SJPP

We used this site: https://uk.voyages-sncf.com/en/#/ to figure it out/book it.
I had no reason for going to Bayonne rather than Biarritz.
