Paris and the Pilgrims Trail

Paris to Santiago de Compostela pilgrim trail by rail

Illustration of Paris and the Pilgrims Trail

Railbookers operates this 14-day, 13-night independent rail package that follows the route of the Camino de Santiago, the ancient way of St James, across France and Spain. The trip moves from Paris to Bordeaux, known here for its art galleries and wine, through San Sebastian and on to Bilbao, described as a gastronomic capital, then spends a day exploring the historic city of Leon before a scenic ride to Santiago de Compostela and its cathedral, the end of the Camino. The trip closes with two nights in Madrid. Travelers move between the seven stops by train rather than following a guided group schedule, arranging their own sightseeing at each stop. Starting from $2,949 per person, this trip suits independent-minded travelers drawn to the history of the Camino and to food and wine along the route across two countries.

What to know before you look closer

  • The description confirms two nights in Madrid at the end and a day exploring Leon, but does not give a full night-by-night breakdown for Paris, Bordeaux, San Sebastian, Bilbao, and Santiago de Compostela; 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.
