Saint-Jean Pied-de-Port (2)

The town gained importance as a resting place for pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago de Compostella.

Here’s the universal symbol for the pilgrimage…

…and here a couple of ‘hostels’ welcoming pilgrims.


A short climb brings us to the old citadel…

…which is now a boarding school.

Return to town and a short walk along the river…

…thankfully much in the shade…

…and including this beautiful old bridge.
