Railbookers · Independent rail package

Paris and the Basque Country

Paris to Bordeaux, San Sebastian, Bilbao, and Madrid by rail

Illustration of Paris and the Basque Country

Railbookers operates this 12-day, 11-night independent rail package that travels from Paris into the Basque Country of France and Spain. The trip includes two confirmed nights in Bordeaux before crossing the border to San Sebastian, then continuing to Bilbao, described as the centre of Basque Culture with world class art and gastronomy, and finishing with one final night in Madrid. Travelers move between the five cities by train rather than following a guided group schedule, arranging their own sightseeing once they arrive in each place. The package does not publish a day-by-day breakdown of how the remaining nights split between Paris, San Sebastian, and Bilbao, so travelers should confirm that detail directly with Railbookers. Starting from $2,349 per person, this trip suits independent-minded travelers interested in the food, art, and culture of the Basque region who want to see several cities without a tour guide.

What to know before you look closer

  • The description confirms two nights in Bordeaux and one final night in Madrid, but does not say how the remaining nights split between Paris, San Sebastian, and Bilbao; confirm the schedule with Railbookers before booking.
  • No hotel star ratings or meal inclusions are given for this package, so its comfort level cannot be confirmed here.
