Oloron Ste. Marie - Refugio

[Bortolo Di, C.A. (Carli)]

A little correction:
In Ostabat, where the routes from Le Puy, Vezelay and Paris join, there is
also a refugio.

With the exeption of SJPP, France does not have refugios specifically for
pilgrims - as far as I have been able to tell. There are gites which are
open
to all travelers, including pilgrims. In Oloron, I was directed to an
Hebergement by the tourist office. This was an establishment for young
people, but was open to pilgrims of all ages. I spent the night there on May
17, 2000. There were very few other residents that night and I had a large
room to myself. I had also stayed at similar quarters in Toulouse and Auch.
The latter two are described in the CSJ guide. On checking, I find no
reference there to the one in Oloron; that's why I assume that I must have
learned about it from the T.O. The price at the Hebergement was 52 French
francs - around 8 dollars at that time.
