    Charles de Gaulle to SJPP

    2 hours is simply not enough to do the two flights. Any delay at all well prevent you from making the connection. Believe me I experienced this and had to fly to Biarritz the next day. There is a train from the airport to Biarritz changing in Bordeaux that might work. I would buy a later 2nd...

    Is it good to fly into Bilbao or Biarritz?

    I've done it 3 different ways Paris to Bayonne by train and on to SJPdP, Paris by air to Biarritz, and Bilbao to SJPdP by bus thru Pamplona( late arrival in BIO and stayed overnight. Bilbao is a great place to see so I advise that it should be done once. Flying to Biarritz was the easiest.

    Getting from Paris to Pamplona: Tips and Advice

    I love to go thru Paris and have flown to Bilbao twice and Bayonne once by plane and once by train all departures from CDG. Bus from Bilbao the next day and from Bayonne I went to STJPP and Irun the same day. Bilbao is worth a visit especially if you haven't been there.

    Alternative Ways to Reach SJPP from Bilbao: Help Needed for April 2022

    I have done this by bus from the airport to Bilbao bus station then on to Pamplona for a change to SJPP stoping in Roncesvalles where many Spaniards begin the trek.

    best way to SJPP from Paris

    An alternative is to fly CDG to BIO, Bilbao. Then a bus to Pamplona and another bus to St. Jean. I've done both and they are about equal in time. Both Biarritz and Bilbao are worth the visit.

    TGV Paris - Bayonne - Any recent passengers? Should we bother?

    Train to Bayonne was perfect. No train to St Jean Pied de Port but a bus was substituted. It took 2 hrs and had no bathroom. Fore warned is fire armed

    TGV Paris - Bayonne - Any recent passengers? Should we bother?

    Made the 10 min transfer in Bordeaux with the help of TGV personnel on the platform. Today on this route you would never dream that there is a strike or inconvenience. The conductor asked if I spoke French and explained how to sign on to the WiFi on the last train

    TGV Paris - Bayonne - Any recent passengers? Should we bother?

    On the TGV from CDG to Bordeaux and it’s on schedule and not overly crowded. Planning to go on to Bayonne and catch the last train to Saint Jean. Will update upon arrival
