I have never made the trip between these two, but bus or train to Pamplona, either is good the Spanish bus system is good and fast. Then bus to Rencesvalles, then taxi to St Jean OR

Train from pamplona to Bayonne and then local train to St Jean.

Allow a day for this travel.

All the best.

I am also making this trip from Madrid to St. Jean on 5 June..need to be there for the 6. Have done so in past took a bus from Madrid to Pamplona and then another bus from Pamplona to Ronscevalle..the trip was very picturesque.
Nevertheless there is instructions on this site that Sil has posted which seems excellent and will definetly do it that way.
