early stages of planning a departure from SJPP....

Any pilgrims here know how much a cab from Bayonne to SJPP would possibly cost? Arriving on a Sunday and the trains don't run as frequent, trying to avoid spending the night in Bayonne...

Thanks!

Whaaaaaat? You're not going to take the train from Bayonne to SJPP!:eek: That's part of the Camino experience ;). And Bayonne is well worth an overnight!!!

But no, I don't know the cost of a taxi from Bayonne to SJPP.:)

I agree, the train ride from Bayonne to St. Jean is a true Camino experience. I loved listening to the other pilgrims chatter on, even if I couldn't understand the language. There was just so much excitement on that train!

Hy , I take the train from Rotterdam ( the Netherlands ) Cost me 94 Euro, that is cheaper as taking a taxi from Bayonne. I wish you happy planning and a Buen Camino.

While I am happy you agree with me (in this bit of fun) and I share your sentiments above, I have to temper my opinion with the appreciation that not everyone, at all times, might want to have this kind of experience or, for that matter, any kind of experience. Constantly, I try to remind myself that persons have their own reasons for arranging things whichever way they like, and it behooves me to support them, as others on this thread are supporting the OP. I fully accept that each person is free to arrange his Camino whichever way works best for him.:)

Look at www.biarritzairporttransfers.com. It depends on the number of travellers. max 12, makes à Nice price.
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

We'd like to get to SJPP sooner rather than later. I'm all for the experience, just we only so much time for this leg of the Camino. We've read that Bayonne is worth the stay too. Our dilemma is transportation is limited on Sunday's.

Thanks
 
I forgot to say in an earlier post that Express Burricot in-fill their taxis to reduce individual costs. On their web-site they have a section showing when taxis are booked and the seats available, so maybe you can keep an eye on this and choose to join a suitable one. How are you getting to Bayonne? Via Biarritz airport? If so the chance of sharing a taxi after a Ryanair flight is quite high and may come closer to the bus/train cost. I understand your reasoning for asking, but understand experience found in the posts of others. Worth noting that the Pilgrim's Office doesn't close until after the last train arrives. Good luck.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.

We're taking a train from Paris and we don't get into Bayonne until 3:30 pm, so we miss the last train to SJPP.

Thank you
 
If there is a change of mind about getting to SJPdP on day of arrival, another option would be to stay in Biarritz for the night. There are great choices near the beach especially in the warmer months.

Last train leaves at 2110 ... admittedly a long wait that gets you to SJPdP rather late.

I too arrived on the TGV in Bayonne on a Sunday after the last train in October of 2013. I was able to take a bus that left after dark and put me in SJPDP about 15 minutes before the registration desk closed. It worked, but I would have preferred to have enjoyed the daylight train ride and then enjoyed St Jean. Any how their may be a night bus you could take.
