Obtaining a Pilgrim Passport in Toulouse

[JenniFromCali]

I plan to start my upcoming pilgrimage in Toulouse and was wondering if it's possible to obtain a pilgrims passport in Toulouse and if so, where.

Thank you,
Jennifer

You may be able to obtain them from here www.basilique-saint-sernin.fr/ there is a little room in it which is open in the afternoons, someone from the local Saint Jacques association is there to hand out guides, give advice, stamps for a credential and maybe the credential itself.

Hey Jen, are you going to leave from Toulouse? I read you should take a train to Pibrac to avoid the industrial parts of the city. Have you heard/read anything with regards to this? Im planning to start next week for a week to Morlaas!

Hi Luke... Yes, I plan to start in Toulouse and I had the following in my notes: "Recommendation: take a train to Pibrac, otherwise add 12 km (outskirts, airport sector, Airbus plant)."

Buen Camino!

Or you can get one from your local pilgrims association or the forum here beforehand, one less thing to worry about.
Buen Camino! SY
