Hola, any members have any good info re above, it will be Oct 2021, so not sure if some transport services close for winter? Train preferred, but bus also. Thank you.
Has anyone started the Camino Nord from Biarritz to Saint-Jean-de-Luz instead of Bayonne? Was thinking of visiting Bayonne to get credentials at the Cathedral and then taking bus to Biarritz and starting from there. Is there a route and is it marked? Possibly more scenic /shorter. - thoughts and...
I've been trying to by a ticket on raileurope for the 641am train on Sep 15. Has anyone else been having issues with the website? I know its not on my end, but I'm not sure what else I can do. Does anyone know of any other site I can buy from?
Hi, I was wondering, other than taking a the train from Biaritz to Bayonne and then to St Jean Pied de Port, has any one taken, or know of a shuttle that drives to SJPDP? and if so do you have the contact number, or website, and the approximate price.
Thanks
Hi everyone!
The first time I did the Camino Frances I was in France for two weeks before getting to St Jean Pied de Port. This coming time in May 2020 I will be on a tighter schedule and will only have 3 days to acclimatize from North American time to French/Spanish time.
I was thinking of...
Hi Everyone
I've search the forum and whilst there are lots of posts re the various options for getting from Paris to either Biarritz or Bayonne, I can't find much information on costs.
If you caught the direct fast train from Gare Montparnasse to Bayonne, can you please let me know what the...
Hello Pilgrims,
I've made my plans for the start of my Camino. This forum has had many nuggets of useful info in the six months since I started planning. Here is what I'll be doing in September 2019. Commentary is always welcome. And perhaps this will be useful for a Class of 2020 Pilgrim...
Hi - I arrive Biarritz airport from Australia (via London) next Thursday 2 May around 5pm. Bouricott express transfers are fully booked & making the last train will be touch & go. If any pilgrims out there want to share-ride to SJPD let me know. Thanks.
Hello, I just booked a ticket on the ALSA bus from Pamplona to St. Jean Pied de Port. My ticket says that boarding is closed 30 min before departure time. How strict is this? Trying to decide which RENFE train to book from Barcelona. One would arrive about 5 min ahead of the "boarding closing"...
I'll be arriving in Paris in early May. As I've never been there before I'll spend two nights there before taking the train to SJPdP.
I want to spend less than 100€/night, and would like to be fairly central with easy access to the train station.
Our flight arrives CDG at 6 am and we plan to take taxi to Gare Montparnasse. Assuming we allow 3 hours for Customs & travel time, does that leave us enough time to get to Bayonne & transfer to SJPDP? We’re not traveling until early May and rail schedules don’t seem to be posted yet.
Thanks
I am planning on flying into either Barcelona or Madrid. The flight to Barcelona is significantly cheaper than Madrid, but I have read that transportation to Saint Jean Pied de Port is a bit easier than from Barcelona. Does anyone have any advice on getting there from either of these cities...
Dear pilgirms, on Wednesday I am arriving at Biarritz Airport and unfortunately at the same time the last train leaves to SJPP. I tried to find some bus connection but I did not find any. Anyone else in the same situation? I do not know if there is any other option, or if I just need to spend...
Buen Camino!
Dear pilgrims,
My name is Yulianna. I am going Camino del Norte in April 2019. And now I have some questions and cannot find answer... I will be thankful for your help.
I have the next plan:
I found a good flight for April 3rd. So I can be in Bayona and start my way on April 4th...
Hi All
I am arriving by TGV in Bayonne a little before 4pm on Sunday 30 September. Earlier this month I contacted Express Bouricot and the said they could send a shuttle there but advised they had no-one else booked from there. This week I checked in to confirm the arrangement and they said...
Hi all,
Embarking on my first Camino this fall, and my first real international trip. I'll be landing in Paris at CDG (terminal 2A) at 6:55am on August 28th, and was hoping to arrive in SJPP that same day with time to visit the pilgrim's office and stay the night before an early start to the...
I've been looking at many transportation threads but haven't seen, or missed, BUS options to SJPdP from Biarritz.
I get in too late to use EB (I've emailed them)and last time I checked the trains from Bayonne don't leave that late.
I arrive at 18:50 to Biarritz airport on a Thurs.
I've...
Hello guys,
I am booking a private transport from Biarritz to St Jean Pied de Port on the 14th of September 2018 at 10pm at night (arriving at 9:30pm from London Gatwick). This is the only way to get there at that time of day - i have checked other providers (they stop earlier) and public...
