Then you may not like doing a stretch of the GR11 either but read on.I've heard about the GR10 but that is not what I'm looking for.

I've been looking into taking the GR11 from Elizondo (on the Camino Baztan and with albergue and other lodging) to Bera (lodging again) and then to Irun on the Camino Norte.
See post #24 by @mspath at https://www.caminodesantiago.me/com...-coast-across-the-pyrenees.63930/#post-777960
And maybe read the rest of the thread too.
Pilgrims arriving in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port have the choice of continuing their journey on the Camino Francés or going to the coast to take the Camino del Norte. The Camino del Norte starts in Irún on the French-Spanish border. On the French side of the border is Hendaye.
There are two ways to cover the distance from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port to Hendaye. For pilgrims with a strong condition, there is the high route through the mountains. But there is also an easier version through hills and valleys. The high trail follows the GR10 trail through the western Pyrenees. This trail is really heavy. Moreover, the weather has to be taken into account. There's little shelter against rain and wind and during thunderstorms it can be really dangerous. Then there is the low route, a road at the foot of the Pyrenees, which runs more through inhabited areas.
In both cases the route is about 75 km long. For the GR the pilgrim has to use the white-red markings. The low trail is signposted with the familiar blue shell and yellow arrows. The most appropriate stops are: Bidarray, Itxassou - Pas de Roland, Espelette, Urrugne and Hendaye. From Hendaye it is 2.5 km to reach Irun. There are both a pilgrimage and a youth hostel. In the other stops there are gîtes, campsites and exceptionally also a pilgrim's hostel.

Thank you! I did not find that post. My forum searching skills are not the best I seeHi Mjak, there is already a thread ,"Walking Bayonne to Irun 22/07/2014.Scroll down to a post from Loving Kindness 22 May 2016

Oh, I didn't know the Camino Littoral existed. Thank you!That's the Camino of the French coast or littoral. I've cycled it, it's a pretty route. The Confraternity of St James has a guide, and so does the local pilgrim association. Not much pilgrim type accommodation, though.
I was interested in the thread and post and found them for myself and shared them in post #5 above.Thank you! I did not find that post. My forum searching skills are not the best I see
I'm going to do the Camino del Norte in about a week. I arrive at Bayonne. I was wondering if I could start my camino from there. My initial plan was taking the train from Bayonne to Hendaye but I was wondering if it could be possible to walk this route in some way.
Thank you for you reply, this is very valuable information. I will most likely walk this way.Hi, I’ve walked from Bayonne to Irun. I stayed at Hotel Les Genets in Anglet, then walked about 23kms next day to Ciboure (stayed at the Ibis Hotel), then about 18kms next day to Albergue Capitan Tximista, avoiding the centre of Irun. There is a regular ferry from Hendaye to Hondarribia. See attached pdfs. I started on the coast near Bordeaux. I wrote about it here:

Is this path marked?
From Bayonne to Irun there is marked way called Via de Bayona (continuing from Irun to Burgos). I walked it in 2016. You can PM me your e-mail and I can send you the material I got at the time.Dear fellow pilgrims,
I'm going to do the Camino del Norte in about a week. I arrive at Bayonne. I was wondering if I could start my camino from there. My initial plan was taking the train from Bayonne to Hendaye but I was wondering if it could be possible to walk this route in some way.
As far as I know, there is no direct route going from Bayonne to Hendaye. But I could potentially walk the Camino Baztan until Souraide and then join a way from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port to Hendaye. The problem is that I do not find much information about the SJPDP>Hendaye route.
Is there a way to walk from Bayonne to Hedaye?
Is there more information on the SJPDP>Hendaye route? I've heard about the GR10 but that is not what I'm looking for. There should be an easier way...
Kind regards
I would appreciate receiving the same information because I plan on starting from Biarritz to the Norte. Thank you.

Thank you for the information.Try this too.
It’s in French but a lot is self evident.

Thank you for your response.This stretch is very beautiful, but book ahead, as otherwise finding a room can be very pricey along the Voie Littorale!
