    French rail strikes March 2023

    I am about to begin the Camino from St Jean Pied de Port on Thursday only to just get notification that all trains are now cancelled from Bayonne that day! Due to my flight getting into Biarritz late-ish I can’t get to SJPDP until Thursday morning. Any ideas what I can do?

    Biarritz to SJPDP

    Hi we arrive from NZ on 25th April in Biarritz at 2.05 pm and need to get to SJPDP is there a direct train or do we need to catch a bus to Bayonne and catch a train there? Or is there somewhere we can post for a shared ride? Looking forward to seeing you all on the Camino! Cheers Linda and Jimmy

    Paris to SJPDP

    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.

    Extra nights - Biarritz or SJPP?

    We are flying into Biarritz and have an extra day/night during our travels that can be spent in either Biarritz or SJPP before we start walking.
