Hi fellow Oregonian. I usually book my tickets via omio.com. If you punch in Paris departure to SJPdP on the website or app, it will put you on the route to Bayonne, then Bayonne to SJPdP.

@DeNisewoodbury it is worth looking at the available tickets in the morning, as well as the afternoon. I use Trainline, because it is easy and it shows all available combinations of times and prices. You can try booking direct with SNCF - their website used to be a nightmare (like Renfe in Spain) but seems to have improved, and I assume they have made paying easier then it used to be.

If the tickets are expensive you could consider flying to Biarritz.
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
Is it best to book tickets far in advance or is same day possible?
Advance! Keep things simple and get a Paris to SJPDP ticket. The Paris to Bordeaux section is crazy fast, you're in for a treat (if you've never had a go on these ultra-fast trains). I'm not sure what the current status is, but the very last bit of the journey may be a replacement bus service. Not to worry though, it's all super slick.
 
We recently booked our train travel from Paris to SJPP using the Trainline website. Suggest you download the APP too as you then have access to your tickets on your phone but we always travel with paper copies as well. We are travelling to SJPP on 24 April and booked tickets a month ago and seating was limited. Best of luck, safe travels and maybe our paths will cross in SJPP or on the Camino.
 
We took the train last Sept. from Paris (Gare Montparnasse) to Bayonne, then change to SJPdP. I booked on the SNCF web site without any problems. I booked about 1 month in advance.

Thank you. This planning stage can be overwhelming
One thing I find useful is to start a Google doc (or sheet) and c/p all my ticket info into it. It becomes my itinerary and I can note what is booked (like my flight to Lyon and train to Le Puy) with times and transfers, and what is not booked (like the commuter train from St. Exupery to Lyon). And I put in useful addresses that will help me when I arrive. I share the sheet with my partner so he can know the overall plan.

It helps with the overwhelm, is available anywhere in the world (because Google is in the cloud) and anyone I choose can know my plan.
 
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.
