Tim,

There is a RENFE train which goes everyday from Santiago to Irun/Hendaye which is the Spanish/French border. This leaves Santiago about 09:45 am and arrives at the border about 21:00 pm. In Hendaye you can get the local TER train to nearby Bayonne .

The RENFE train needs reservations. It is easily booked directly at the rr station in Santiago. As long as you are NOT traveling at a peak time such as a holiday you should have no trouble booking this train two or three days before you wish to travel.

For more info here is a RENFE timetable link in English. >> http://www.renfe.com/EN/viajeros/horarios.html

Buen Camino,

Margaret Meredith

mspath - I've been trawling around this forum for some months now.

I'd like to say that I've started looking for replies by you to the questions people ask. The reason I do that? Because you seem to be font of knowledge about everything Camino along with Ivar et al.

To coin a phrase, "you're a blessing in disguise".

I expect I'll be asking a question in the future and I'll make a point of looking for your reply.

Margaret is correct!
The Santiago to Hendaye to Bayonne train works perfectly.

What I found particularly surprising about the trip by train across the meseta was looking out the train window and seeing pilgrims on their way Santiago. It stirred a lot of emotion within me.

Fran,

Thanks for your kind words! Be sure to add to your "saved pages " that from Hendaye besides local TER trains for the region you can also catch fast TGVs and perhaps a night train back to Paris. See this French SNCF website for more info. >> http://www.voyages-sncf.com/. Final timetables are listed three months in advance.

Bon Voyage and Buen Camino,
