Hi. I am seeking information about parking in st. jean pied de port, while I am walking to Pamplona. Can any one tell me if it is safe to leave the car for some days? where to park ik? a good camp site maybe? How much it would cost?

Best wishes Mia :)

I wouldn't park in StJdP at present. One of the 900 Pilgrims held there may use it in an escape attempt. However, should you decide that you want to take the risk this link http://www.espritduchemin.org/en/node/141 may assist.
Tincatinker, hilarious! Great tie in to a current thread.
Stumpen, there are several 2 and 3 star hotel in SJPdP, I would start by asking them about car storage. Most of the parking in town is in open lots, some spaces are metered. I don't remember ever seeing a private lot there. The Pilgrim Office might also have answers because many of the volunteers who come to work there probably drove there and have long term parking needs.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
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.
Thanks for your answers :D If anyone els has experience in parking their car there, I would love to hear! :)
