Thank you Falcon269Take the local bus from the airport to the Bayonne train station, and catch the bus/train from there! It runs about five times a day.

I don't wan't to go over not-using "search" function again (my fellow Forum friends would expeled me by then), but I really want to know what "Section 1 of the French Way" is??? Thanks in advance
Ultreia!
The French rail system, SNCF, now operates a bus between Bayonne Gare (rail station) to SJPP, as the rail line there is now no longer in use. Tickets can be bought on line at voyages.sncf.comHi, new to this forum. I am hoping to walk Section 1 of the French Way this year with my 17 year old daughter. I will be flying into Biarritz.

Does one need to buy a ticket in advance? Is it cheaper to buy online?The French rail system, SNCF, now operates a bus between Bayonne Gare (rail station) to SJPP, as the rail line there is now no longer in use. Tickets can be bought on line at voyages.sncf.com
The easiest way is to take the shuttle bus from the airport to the Bayonne train station, at which you can buy a bus ticket to St Jean Pied de Port, the starting point for the Camino Frances. As the French rail system operates the bus link to SJPP, you can check their website for fares and schedules at voyages.sncf.com.Hi, new to this forum.

No need. You can either buy the ticket at the train station or on board from the bus driver. I only mentioned the website as it publishes the schedules for the bus departures from Bayonne to SJPPDoes one need to buy a ticket in advance? Is it cheaper to buy online?
Oh, I see. I have walked this section twice but now I heard this for the first time.Hi, a couple of websites and tour operators i have looked at have Section 1 as St Jean to Pamplona.

Don't be surprised if part of the trip is on a bus!!Train to SJPDP is still running I am in Bayonne at the moment and just bought my train ticket for the 11.10 train
Canuck Walker's information will get you there but I posted this information on another thread about 2 weeks ago.Train to SJPDP is still running I am in Bayonne at the moment and just bought my train ticket for the 11.10 train
Hi , wish you both a great Camino , but skip the part of walking Section 1. In my opinion there is only one Camino , where you want to start and end .Hi, new to this forum. I am hoping to walk Section 1 of the French Way this year with my 17 year old daughter. I will be flying into Biarritz. What is the best way to get from there to Saint Jean? Thanks.
Ok update on my last comment the train brought me as far as Cambo Les Bains then switched to a bus that was waiting for us just about an hour in totalTrain to SJPDP is still running I am in Bayonne at the moment and just bought my train ticket for the 11.10 train
You are right off the train and on to the busDon't be surprised if part of the trip is on a bus!!
Let us know about the current snow situation between SJPdP and Zubiri, please. I looks dubious at the minute.You are right off the train and on to the bus
Thank you! I'm traveling on May, so I now know I have to take the bus from Bayonne to Saint Jean Pied-De-PortFrom an article today:
For now, the line is closed in its entirety. Until February 27, the transport is full bus from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port to Bayonne. From that date, the Bayonne-Cambo section will be operated with a TER but the link Cambo / Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port will always be provided by bus until October, 2015.
On completion of the work, the train speed of 70 km / h on the whole line will save time on the estimated path about 55 minutes.
"It's a little disturbed period for users, says one of the agents, but they are understanding because they know that it is only provisional. You have to know to go through it and then offer a service worthy of the name to the inhabitants of the Basque Country within.
I don't know the current train and bus availability. However, on September 25, 2014, I took the train from Hendaye, France, to Bayonne, and then switched trains in Bayonne to one going to Cambo les Bains where a bus (autocar) by the SCNF was waiting behind the train station to continue on to SJPdP. The bus left as soon as all passengers loaded their backpacks and boarded. I bought the ticket at the SCNF station in Hendaye. I speak only a little French, and was somewhat confused when the ticket clerk said I would need to go by "car" to SJPdP. He obviously meant "bus" or "coach". I guess "car" is meant to be "autocar". Note also that I had read a previous post stating that the railroad to SJPdP was closed due to a mudslide in May. Observing the condition of the tracks to SJPdP from the bus window, it appears that the tracks had not been used in a couple of years as the rails were rusty and weeds were growing between then ties.You are right off the train and on to the bus
At the moment the Napolean route is closed due to snow you have to take the Valcaras route to RoscanvaLet us know about the current snow situation between SJPdP and Zubiri, please. I looks dubious at the minute.
I was in the Tourist office last night and still no sign of the napoleon route being open because of snow so taking the Valcarlos routeLet us know about the current snow situation between SJPdP and Zubiri, please. I looks dubious at the minute.
Whether the trip is by train or bus, you start your voyage at the train station.Thank you! I'm traveling on May, so I now know I have to take the bus from Bayonne to Saint Jean Pied-De-Port
You also buy the transport ticket within that Bayonne train station (Gare SNCF Bayonne) mentioned by Don.Whether the trip is by train or bus, you start your voyage at the train station.
That part I was not sure Biarritzdon. Thank you.Whether the trip is by train or bus, you start your voyage at the train station.
Welcome Joanna, the last train leaves at 18.10 to my knowledge.I arrive in Biarritz at 16.50 on 30th April on the Ryanair flight. Does anyone know what time the last train is up to SJPDP please? Or direct me to the correct website to see the schedule for that day. many thanks
Many thanksWelcome Joanna, the last train leaves at 18.10 to my knowledge.
Buen Camino.
I didn't realise there was a later one than the 18.06, good to know.Departure from Bayonne 18ho6 arrival in SJPdP19h24 and last departure at 21h10, arriving at 22h22.
Bus service from airport to train station: 16h45, 17h15 and 17h45; the trip takes about 40 minutes and is door to door. Make sure you have a one euros coin available to pay the bus fare.
Use the SNCF site for rail service and Chronoplus for the bus schedule from the airport to the train station. The airport is not very large and baggage claim is pretty quick, I have no experience with Ryanair's on time arrivals.
