very envious though -

Problems in France as most municipal gîtes are closed...

New Original Camino Gear Designed Especially with The Modern Peregrino In Mind!
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.

Hiked about 36 kms from Orthez. St Jean tomorrow after a late start (Saturday breakfast at the Logis is 9 am). I have not had a rest day so this makes up for it.

Here is a pic from 2016, I love the simplicity of the sketch map and directions "1 km climb up, 5km flat, 5km down". I wonder how the prices are now?
