Hi!.. can anyone please help me how to get to St. Jean from Lourdes on public transportation? are there taxis that I can rent? what is the normal rate? How about a car rental? Can I rent a car from Lourdes and drop it off at St. Jean?
Thank you much!

Or... it's a wonderful walk from Lourdes to Canfranc, down the Aragones Route and into Puente la Reina!
 
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.

Train from Lourdes to Bayonne, and then to St-Jean-Pied-de-Port, or a taxi. I doubt you could drop off a hire car at St-Jean - it is only a small place. Taxi fares in France look as if they vary from about 1 euro 20 (Paris) to 1 euro 80 (Nice), plus a flag fall of a few euros. The cost would depend on the route taken - main road through Pau and Orthez would be faster but further (about 150km), or small secondary roads cross country to Marie Ste Oloron and from there to St-Jean. Have a look at a map.

We once took a taxi from Pau to get dropped back on the Le Puy route (after sending husbands home), and we negotiated a price with the taxi driver at the train station.
