Good Lord! That would overwhelm me! lol!
I'm not sure if this is the best way to present the information. I suppose it could be written showing one path ignoring all other options. I'm all ears for ideas on making this simple.
Mark, I have tried to find information about the train from Bayonne to SJPDP and haven't found anything about it not running? Does anyone have solid information on this, because I will be heading there next week. Thank you.When I did my first Camino last year I flew in to Paris (CDG) and took a morning train from the station at CDG airport to SJPDP, with a change of trains in Bourdeaux and Bayonne. I got my tickets that morning, but would recommend booking in advance if possible as I have heard it is cheaper and guarantees you a seat. I have heard that the train is not currently running from Bayonne to SJPDP and you get there via bus or taxi.
Bayonne looked like a nice town. I imagine would be a nice place to spend the night if you want to catch a morning bus to SJPDP. It makes for a long day to go all the way down to SJPDP.

Margaret, thank you again...your Camino knowledge and help has been appreciated by this pilgrim.Sushi,
August 7, 2014 the TER ligne 62 train from Bayonne to SJPdP posted this current 25 August to 23 November 2014 TRAIN/BUS SCHEDULE. Trains will depart Bayonne and connect with a rr provided bus at Cambo le Bains to continue to SJPdP. Total travel time is roughly 1 1/2 hours; cost roughly 10 euros. From 24 November through 14 December only rr provided buses will leave from Bayonne rr station for the complete journey.
Bon voyage,
Margaret Meredith
Whariwharangi...that's a long one...lol. Thank you for your follow-up posting.To follow up on Margaret's post, the reason for the train and bus is because the tracks between Cambo les Bains and SJPdP were washed out in April 2014.
The new schedule should have no effect on your travel plans ... SNCF is providing service via train and bus from Gare Bayonne to SJPdP.
Hi everyone,
Thank you all for all the information you have provided on this forum. I'm a new 61yo (young) solo pilgrim and just now booked my flight from Seattle to Paris arriving in Paris at 1:00PM on April 9. I plan to travel from CDG to Bayonne and stay one night there then on to SJPDP on the 10th.
My question is what train(s) should I take to Bayonne. A hotel suggestion would be appreciated. Nothing too fancy just comfortable near the train station and then where do I catch the bus to SJPDP. I'm open to sharing a taxi as well ;-)
I'm so excited to be making this trip and have been spending hours and hours researching, planning and training. Experiencing pure joy in the process and now that my flight is purchased it officially real!
Thanks again for your help.
Last year when I walked the Camino I flew in and flew out of Paris CDG and took the train from the station at CDG down to Bayonne and SJPDP. I arrived in Paris late in the day and spent the night at a small hotel about two miles from the airport. The hotel was Hotel F1 Roissy Pn2. I booked it on booking.com. It was inexpensive and there was a free shuttle to it from the airport. The same shuttle took me back to the airport the next morning to catch the train to Bayonne. I booked the hotel for my return trip to Paris as well.Hi everyone,

Also if you are arriving in Paris at CDG at 1:00 pm, I don't believe there are anymore trains that depart from CDG that late. I think the last one departs around 10:00 pm in the morning. You can look up the schedules online as well as make reservations in advance, which are probably cheaper that way.Hi everyone,

My train info (schedules, etc) is not concrete, and you definitely got to do some research as your Camino gets closer. It all may change by then. Either way, if you left from Paris after 1:00 pm you would get to Bayonne pretty late in the day.Yes, when I looked at all the schedules I decided to stay the night in Paris. I'm still deciding whether or not to take the train or fly to Barritz and stay one night near the Sea. I'm leaning towards the train as I haven't been to that part of France and would love to see the countryside. From there hopefully I may find a bus or a Taxi share to SJPdP. Maybe the train will be running by April. I plan to start my walk on April 12. Hopefully the weather will be similar to Seattle at that time of year. ;-) I will definitely check out Vueling for my trip back to Paris.
Thank you Mark!
Currently there are trains from Montparnasse to Bayonne until 1728. The schedule for next April is not out yet. Trains are very rarely full, so an early train reservation probably is not necessary. They can be nonrefundable, so you might want to wait until you get to the station to buy the ticket.
To complete that puzzle, be sure to take care of your feet! You can't leave them behind, so pressing on when you should stop and take care of them can make the journey very painful. Feeling rushed is the prime cause of ignoring hot spots. Right behind that is not knowing where your footwear rubs before you leave home. Wear shoes/boots enough to know the tight spots, and do something about it, hopefully months before you head for the trail. Buen camino.it's like a giant puzzle with a huge prize awaiting me in Santiago!
Walk for a week in the rain! That will give you a reading on the boot fit. Too many pilgrims dabble in footwear fit before leaving. Three hours up the hill toward Roncesvalles, they discover their mistake. That is TOO late to learn!It's pouring down rain here so I guess it's a good day for a long test walk in the boots!
Hi Shering. I am flying to CDG arriving about the same day you are next year and meeting my son who is flying to CDG from Tokyo. He will walk part of the Camino with me.Hi everyone,

Hi Shering. I am flying to CDG arriving about the same day you are next year and meeting my son who is flying to CDG from Tokyo. He will walk part of the Camino with me.
He will arrive later in the day than I will, so I have looked at all the options to get out of Paris without having to spend the night there. Suggest you look at taking an easyJet flight from CDG to Birarritz. It is about the same cost as the train ride. If you want to start a private conversation, I will be happy to share my research with you.
For sure, hope to see you on the Camino.
