    Lost on travel from North Carolina US

    I connected in Paris with a flight to Biarritz. From there you can catch a local bus - about 45 min - to the Bayonne train station. Because I arrived after the last train to St Jean I stayed overnight at the Hotel Paris Madrid which is right next to the stations and caught the early morning...

    From Paris CDG on to SJPP

    If you haven't already made you reservations you might want to look into the possibility of flying into Biarritz instead of CDG. The extra cost vs the cost of taking the train from CDG might be about the same.

    If the bus leaves from the airport you may be OK if your flight is on time and you only have carryon luggage. If you miss the bus you will be out whatever the ticket cost you.

    Planes and Trains from Biarritz to Bayonne

    In order to make the connection by bus you would need to have the extreme good fortune of not having to wait for the bus at the airport. Since this is unlikely you should either plan on taking a taxi or spending the night in Bayonne. The Hotel Paris Madrid is at the Bayonne station and a...
