[David planning Le Chemin de St Jacques/El Camino de Santiago]

> Last week I emailed an inn to find out how close they are to SJPP, transportation, etc.

* According to Le Guide Rouge:

Les Pyrénées pyreneesarelaischateaux.fr 05 59 37 01 01

Central 05 59 37 00 22

Les Sources de la Nive, 8km south: 05 59 37 10 57

* CSJ:

* Miam-miam-dodo lists many more.    Not all are open all year.
Perhaps it would be best to
call the Accueil Pèlerin at 05 59 37 05 09
where you might be able to get some advice in English

their site www.aucoeurduchemin.org is in French
and doesn't work with netscape 4; I couldn't find lodging recommendations
for SJPP


If you're worried about the first day, you might prefer to spend the night
before at Ferme Ithurburia near Hontto 05 59 37 14 73 or is it 11 17?

My sources don't seem to be in accord about phone numbers... another
reason you might want to start with the Accueil
