Agree a meeting point on the Basque coast

Start with the airport or station name and the date. Ask the desk to specify an exit and a public landmark you can recognise. A useful description tells the group whether to wait inside or outside and which side of a street or forecourt to use. Save the location with the written instructions. If you plan to meet at a terminal, check the airport’s current passenger information before you travel so that you know what the signs call the area.

For Bayonne station, start from the route off the platform and agree a street-level point. A traveller with a large board bag may need more time and a different route from somebody carrying a small backpack. Check the station’s current access information if you need an accessible path. Tell the desk where the group expects to stand after the train, and include the service number so a change can be identified.

At a Saint-Jean-de-Luz waterfront stay, the entrance used by guests may be different from the one a vehicle can reach. Ask the property for the street-side point and written street name. For a hotel pickup, check whether everyone can wait there with bags after checkout. Give a second route to the meeting point only if the property confirms that it is practical. Tell travellers which point is primary so they do not wait in separate places.

Choose a traveller who can receive and relay changes. If road access or signage differs from the description, share your actual location first and wait for a revised point. Take care when moving long bags through an unfamiliar forecourt. Keep the whole group informed and keep an eye on any onward train or accommodation deadline. If the meeting point changes, confirm what the new walking route means for travellers who need more time or step-free access.
