Credential

[Paul Newfield]

Please describe the credential from SJPP (France).  Who produces it?  What does it look like?  Is if from Les amis du chemin...??

I know that just over the mountain, you get credentials which are Spanish.

When I made my Camino (1999), I went thru 2 1/2 of the Spanish accordion credenciales.  Fantastic souvenires!  Lightweight, inexpensive, not at all bulky; and each stamp packed with memories.  Towards the end, I was getting stamps from everyone.
One interesting one was from Felica, "the fig lady", on the camino near Logron~o.

  Hi Lynne,
  When in SJPP you can go to rue La Citadelle where you will find numerous
  places and things related to the Camino. Going up the street towards the
  Porta de St Jaques you'll find the office that welcomes pilgrims (rue La
  Citadelle No. 39) where you can get your pilgrim's credential; with it on
  hand you can go straight to the albergue (rue La Citadelle No. 55); should
  the albergue be full, there are other pilgrim accommodations right on the
  same street, either in private homes or low-cost inns.  There are, of course,
  hotels of various categories as well.
  SJPP is a very lovely small town; you'll have no trouble finding
  Camino-related information in almost any language or any supplies that you
  may need.
  There are  facilities in the Pyrenees which allow for making "the crossing"
  in two segments.  Send me a message directly if you'd like to know about them.
  Regards,
  Rosina
