Thanks so much for this info. It sound wonderful and just the type of place I will make an effort to search out. I doubt it will on day two, but it could be day three as we plan to walk slowly.
I am so glad you asked this question! Although I had made the decision to take this route, I must admit I was a little worried because, like you, I have a fear of drop-offs. My husband and I should find ourselves on this route in a little over one weeks time. We are booked in Orrison for the...
Just wanted to say thanks for all the information this web site provides - not sure I could have arranged everything without all the valuable information provided. Successful in booking ahead in Orrison, so nothing else to plan. Looking forward to meeting the many other pilgrims we will meet...
Successful in booking at the Gite Ultrera in St. Jean. Still trying to get ahold of Orrison or Kayola to see about the night of Sept. 7th, but no luck so far.
Thanks for the advice everyone. Now I am really getting nervous! Sent an email off to LEsprit du Chemin for the nights of Sept 5th and 6th and hope to hear something back - one way or the other. If I confirm that they are booked does anyone have any info on Aubereg de Pelerin?
I will try and...
We will be arriving in St. Jean on the 5th of September, via train from Bordeaux at approx. 7:00 pm, and wondering if it will be necessary to book ahead for a place to stay that night and possibly the next before we head out to Orrison. Also, is it really necessary to book ahead in Orrison...

Thanks for posting. Now that our plane tickets are booked, important items like backpack and sleeping bag purchased, we are now starting to make notes in our Brierley guide book as to where other recommend as nice places to stay. We will try to make this one!
Should be arriving in SJP on Sep...
My husband and I who are planning to walk early September until late October, opted to buy a sleeping bag liner sold at Mountain Equipment Co-op in Canada. One side is just a sheet, which you place on top when it's hot, and the other side is light weight down which you place on top when cooler...
Hi Jenny,
My husband and I plan to due the Camino during the same time frame (and pace) as you so we may run into each other on the trail.
We haven't booked flights yet, but plan to fly Nova Scotia to Paris around the 6th of September and make our way to Saint Jean. We may just book a train...
