SJPdP is connected by:

SNCF TER train from Gare de Bayonne.

Transports64 bus Gare de Bayonne and Orthez (both requiring transfer at St Palais).

The closest airport to SJPdP is located at Biarritz BIQ. Chronoplus bus #14 connects Anglet airport to Gare Bayonne.

CONDA (ALSA) bus from San Sebastian via Pamplona. Sometimes (summer) a bus from San Sebastian goes to SJPdP via Biarritz Airport.

Major airports with rail and bus connections to Bayonne and Pamplona include Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao, and Bordeaux. Biarritz Airport has connections to several major European ports including London and Dublin via discount airlines.

There is a train/bus combo from Bayonne to Saint-Jean. Maybe the train goes all of the way now, but when I took it last summer, a landslide had covered part of the tracks, so the train ran partway, and then they switched us to a bus. The ticket costs only a few euros, six if I remember correctly.

Tracks were repaired in November 2015.

Price for the train from Bayonne to SJPdP is approx 10 euro.

I am flying to Paris and then taking the train to Bayonne where I will spend the night.
The next morning I will take the local train to SJpdp.
Best to get your reservation to Bayonne in advance.

Go to a GOOD travel agent, try to arrange a flight to Paris with return from Madrid using the same airline, Air France or Iberia won't work but you know which one, not considered two oneway flights but still not cheap. Should you try it alone on the internet, you will be skinned alive price-wise.

You can catch a train to Bayonne/Biarritz from Paris CDG.

I am landing in Paris, taking the Eurolines bus overnight to Bayonne, spending the morning there and then of to SJPdP for a sleep and then walking on the day after that.

I haven't decided yet

Last year I flew from LAX to CDG on an AF 380, the new, big Airbus passenger plane. Once I got to CDG, I had a few hours to catch the train to Bayonne from the station at CDG. I had planned to fly to Biarritz that day, but there was a French air traffic strike. So I took the train, buying first class tickets. EasyJet later refunded my airfare and the cost of my first class train tickets, even though I did not ask them to!
FWIW, if I were to make this journey again, I would not fly to Biarritz/Bayonne, but just take the train.
The Air France flight was very nice and the flight attendants were very helpful in getting me oriented in the terminal, as CDG is very big!

Heyho,
I am trying to figure out how to get from Bayonne to SJPDP this Friday (18 Febuary).
I find the pdf above kinda helpful and kinda confusing - all information I gathered about this bus/train are kinda confusing^^
How is it that that the schedule is different in the second week of march from the third week of march??
I arrive in Bayonne at the bus station at 10am and was hoping to immediately travel on to SJPDP to eventually start walking in the direction of Valcarlos.
In the one week there is a bus at 11:10 on Fridaysand in another there is nothing until nearly 2pm.
Could anyone help me Newbie out?
I will basically see it in Bayonne anyway, but I wouldn't mind knowing what to expect

Thank you lovelies!

By train from Gare/Bayonne on Friday 18/03 take the local TER line 62 to SJPdP.
Trains leave 14:55, 18:05, 21:10.
There is work in progress on the tracks but trains are running.

For further info see this TER link

As far as I am aware there is no bus station in Bayonne. Where are you traveling from and with what bus line? The important bit is about how to get from where your bus drops you to the train station.

The pdf you are referring to is a temporary schedule involving buses in place of trains while work is done on the tracks. Usually the trains run at the same time as the buses.

I am coming with the pesa bus from bilbao and just assumed that I'd be dropped off at some kind of bus station
I'll be in Bayonne at 10am and was hoping that I would be in SJPDP early and could be in Valcarlos in the evening, but there is no real rush, so I'll just see how it goes and might stay the night in SJPDP
According to the PDF I might be able to get the 11:10am bus/train thing.
Just realised now anyway, that one week is from Bayonne to SJPDP and the other one is the return in the pdf - silly me

PESA goes to Place de Basques. Its about 1 km and across the river from Gare Bayonne.

You can walk or try to figure out the local bus system.

Chronoplus provides local bus service. The bus map is a good map for purpose of finding your way on foot.
