how to get to St Jean

there are already several threads on Bilbao to SJPP within the last couple of weeks.

Essentially public transport to SJPP from Bilbao takes time because it is a combination of buses and trains with waits in between.

The bus to Bayonne is the cheapest and most direct way of getting there. I assume you have the Pesa.net web site.

will give you the train from Bayonne to San Jean.

Hi there,
It has been my experience that traveling between countries is a bit of a headache. The euro may have symbolically unified europe but the transportation links predate this unification. I like to suggest to pilgrims that they think about starting in Ronsvalles. There are a couple of reasons for this; first,the first day over the pass is excrucationly difficult and you're not really ready for the journey. Secondly, there is a lovely pilgrim mass there in the evening, its for pilgrims of all religious bents and is spoken is a number of languages including english.
For me the downside of arriving in spain to begin the journey in france is that you see the landscape first in a bus/train before you travel it on foot.
I believe you should pack lite (7 kilos) and go with an open heart. Sorry about the spelling.

Hello, i m From Lithuania. I m coming to Paris ( beauvais) on June 17. I would like to ask you how can i get to Saint-Jean-de-Port form there? It will be my biggest and first trip, so sorry for asking ))
Maybe there is a train or bus going straight to the place? But i guess is not so easy

You can take a train from Paris to Bayonne, and transfer to the train that goes from Bayonne to St. Jean Pied de Port:

Use the site in French, if you can; if you select English, you will be routed to http://www.raileurope-world.com/map/
