From Biarritz Train Station
Biarritz Train Station to Saint-Jean-de-Luz Private Transfer
Many TGV passengers get off at Biarritz rather than Saint-Jean-de-Luz because the connection times are better, then finish the last 13.7 km by car. From the platform exit at Biarritz station the transfer to Saint-Jean-de-Luz or Ciboure takes about 30 minutes for a fixed €55, and the driver is tracking your train, so a late arrival changes nothing.

About Saint-Jean-de-Luz
Saint-Jean-de-Luz is the most elegant of the small towns between Biarritz and the Spanish border: a harbour full of tuna boats, a curved beach protected by three sea walls, and streets of red-shuttered houses leading to the church where Louis XIV was married. Its twin across the river, Ciboure, adds the Socoa fort, a sailing club and Ravel’s birthplace on the quay.
The transfer from Biarritz station follows the A63 for two exits or the D810 along the coast; both take roughly 30 minutes. Common drop-off points include the hotels of the town centre, the Grande Plage, the holiday homes of Acotz and Erromardie and the Sainte-Barbe headland; any address in the commune is served at the fixed fare, and Ciboure, across the harbour, has its own page.
Highlights
- The Grande Plage and its bay, calm enough for children and paddleboarding
- Maison Louis XIV, the church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste and the pedestrian Rue Gambetta
- The harbour, the fish market and the fort of Socoa across the water in Ciboure
- Beaches for surfing at Lafitenia and Erromardie, north of the town
Also serving: Acotz, Erromardie, Sainte-Barbe
One-way fare for the car (up to 4 passengers), all taxes included, measured to Place Louis XIV. Night rate (9 PM–7 AM) +€5–€10. Child seats from €5 per seat.
