methodist.pilgrim.98 said:I have caught a sleeper out of Bayonne on two occasions and wouldn't recommend sleeping there. It was deserted enough at 11.00pm and the cafe closed around then, though it might have changed this past year.
Type in Bayonne in the search engine as I believe this question has come up before and there are hostals that you could book into.
You could then catch an early morning train to SJPP, collect a sello from the Pilgrim´s Office in SJPP. (Open from 07.30 till late, the Association des Amis de Saint Jacques Pyrénées-Atlantiques, 39 rue de la Citadelle, 64220 Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port. Tél accueil St-Jean-PdP 05-59-37-05-09) and then walk to Orrison, which can be pre-booked.

don't know what day you travel but it seems there is an overnight train on fridays and sundays
http://www.bonjourlafrance.com/france-t ... .htm#Paris
( there is overnight trains from Paris Austerlitz everyday to Bayonne cept Weds)
there is a very pilgrim friendly hotel in Bayonne just to the left outside the train station its called the Paris Madrid (fairly cheap)-don't know if its 24 hour reception (use the search option above for more information)
another option is to only travel as far as Bordeaux,use hostel accommodation there and continue your journey next day
good luck and buen camino

MoniRose said:So....can anyone advise if I'm reading this right? (see link below) I arrive in Paris at 8:15am (hopefully) on a Sunday. My only option for a train to Bayonne is at 13:44 (1:44) and arriving at 19:44 (8pm). I won't complain cuz at least there's a train, but that's a long time to wait at the airport. So am I reading this right?
Thanks - M :arrow:

Ouch! The airport vs. the Montparnasse area? Get over to the train station. Wander the streets. Have food, coffee, and wine. Watch the people. Go to the park.hanging out at the airport

Has anybody used the France TGV booking site to book train tickets and then arranged to pick them up at the station using your credit card (from a Canadian bank) and special pin?
Jirit, When you book on the TGV site you pay and print out a "boarding pass" with a QR on it, the same way as a plane ticket. I did it from the States and took it with me.Has anybody used the France TGV booking site to book train tickets and then arranged to pick them up at the station using your credit card (from a Canadian bank) and special pin?
Slight correction! Make sure you log on to www.sncf.com otherwise you may get kicked over to RailEurope which will charge you an arm and a leg.Jirit, When you book on the TGV site you pay and print out a "boarding pass" with a QR on it, the same way as a plane ticket.
