Paris to Pamplona by Train
There is no direct train from Paris to Pamplona, but there is good service from Paris to Vitoria, though this leaves you in Vitoria at a ungodly hour of the morning. You can then take a bus from Vitoria to Pamplona.The return journey from Vitoria to Pamplona is much more reasonable, as it leaves you in Paris at a sensible hour of the morning.
An alternative is to take a train from Paris to Hendaye, walk across the border to Irun and take a bus to Pamplona. However, there is only one bus per day from Irun to Pamplona. A sensible option is to instead go from Hendaye to Bilbao, spend a night there and then travel from Bilbao to Pamplona the following day.
