4th September 2024 Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port

[FFIONp12]

Hi everyone! I was planning to travel to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port to start my Camino on 4th September, but everywhere seems booked up for this date only (I can book most other dates in August and September). Does anyone know if there’s something happening that day?

Thanks!

It's a popular week to start, i find a bed in a gite on booking as i write this. But that seems to be it. Expect to have troubles on the stages follwing till Pamplona at the least.

Possible resolutions are to spend your first night in Bayonne and walk through to Valcarlos off the morning train. Second day to Burguette or Espinal and then a push Cizur Menor or even Zariquiegui. I don’t recommend this solution as you’ll be facing some long days and many break down going too fast and too far in the early stages.
I guess if you don’t have a booking in St Jean I also guess you don’t have one in Orisson/ Borda, or Roncesvalles or Zubiri or Pamplona. They will all be hard to come by by now.

You might consider starting walking from Pamplona. There’s a daily bus from St Jean. Otherwise consider changing your starting date

The first two, three weeks of September are by far the busiest weeks of the year. Be sure you make reservations fot the 'bottleneck' Saint-Jean-Pied-Port through Pamplona.
Auberge Orisson and auberge Borda (between Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port and Roncesvalles) are already fully booked, in Roncesvalles you can still book a bed at the moment.

Bonjour à tous ! J'avais prévu de me rendre à Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port pour commencer mon Camino le 4 septembre, mais tout semble complet pour cette date seulement (je peux réserver la plupart des autres dates en août et septembre). Est-ce que quelqu'un sait s'il se passe quelque chose ce jour-là ?

Merci!

It appears they have one available on booking.com for 4 September when I checked just now.
