Well, here goes nothing.

I am excited, and a bit nervous, to say that I will depart tomorrow from SLC, UT to Paris to begin my trip down to SJDP, and then begin my walk on the Camino. I have one worry that is troubling me though: I am taking a train down to Bayonne, and then need to pick up a bus pass to SJDP. Only problem is, I'm not sure if the bus station is located at Bayonne's train station or somewhere else. Would anyone know of the location of the station?

Not sure about a bus but the train station for trains to SJdP is a short walk south over the Pont Mayou. Last time the trains were "malade" the buses departed from the same point.

Buen Camino

Thank you both for your information and advice. You surely saved me the effort of walking around Bayonne asking for the autobuses.

Many thanks.
