Inboud / Outbound France - Spain within a Paris - Hendaye back and forth

Hello !
Our country is France.

We’re trying to use our pass from France to Spain.
Yet the only trains covered are the one within France. No internal passes within Spain.

So the goal is to reach the border of Spain with our pass. And more precisely the railway station of Hendaye. Which is a border train station.

Has someone already done it and is it ok with the pass knowing that the city we’re reaching and from we will get back is technically a French city ?

Thank you
Emmanuelle

I'm not sure what your question is, but if you have a global pass and want to use it on a train to Hendaye, then that's totally fine. You can also use your pass in France on 2 of your travel days, on as many trains as you like.

I don’t understand. Which pass do you have? You can’t get a One Country Pass for France if that’s your home country.

A train journey to Hendaye from anywhere in France is a domestic journey. If you want to use Interrail, this need a Global Pass, which is also valid in Spain. 

It’s not valid on the Euskotren from Hendaye, but it is valid on most other Spanish trains

Merci à vous 2 pour vos retours. Interrail aussi a répondu. Et je vous confirme qu’avec un pass global comme celui que nous avons, un AR Paris - Hendaia, ville frontière d’où nous partirons pour l’Espagne, avec une dizaine de jours entre les 2 trajets, est suffisant pour qu’un controleur valide les jours inbound/outbound.
Bonne journée
