Paris to SJPDP

Time of past OR future Camino
April 2023
Another boring question from a novice! I need to travel from Paris to SJPDP on April 11 and am a little confused about the best way to get there. I would prefer to catch a train rather than fly to Biarritz. As I’m already going to be in the centre of Paris, I thought it might be more efficient just to head the the central train station (first time in Paris and travelling this bit solo).

Brendajoyce,

From the Gare Montparnasse take a high speed TGV train to Bayonne. You must have a reserved ticket for the TGV. The price of the ticket is cheapest the earliest you book it. You can book on line and at the same time book a local TER train to Saint Jean Pied de Port.

Use either Trainline, or the SNCF site to book online.

https://www.thetrainline.com and https://www.seat61.com/train-travel-in-france are two sites I’ve been using to plan some near future train travel. The first one, as mspath mentioned earlier, is for searching, comparing prices and buying tickets; the latter is a good guide concerning all facets of European train travel. Buena suerte y enjoy some time in Paris, too. Great city! And, of course, buen camino.🤙🏽

Thank you so much! These sites are going to be very helpful.
 
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.

€46,-
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
