Chez l'habitant Veronique or Refuge St Jacques in Bayonne?

[trecile]

I'm actually going to walk the Norte from Bayonne, but thought that this might be a better forum for a question about accommodation in Bayonne.

It looks like both of these options take reservations but both are quite small, so I thought that I better choose one and reserve.

Thoughts on these two places?

We stayed at Chez l'habitant Veronique in March 2022, and it was wonderful. Veronique was so kind and escorted us over to the Cathedral to get a stamp and give us a tour. The breakfast the next morning was superb! It was in the days right after Covid re-opening, and we were the only ones there at that time. It was a perfect start to our new journey on the Norte.

Highly recommended!

I stayed with Veronique! It was great.

4 of us stayed with Véronique in 2017. We booked the
4 beds in one room but another pilgrim had arrived so the youngest of our group slept on a mattress on the floor.
A great stay, lovely breakfast.
Then off we went to walk the Baztan.

I've sent an email to Veronique for a reservation.
