    Personal emergency location beacons in France

    ...I had my PLB. A place like that is an uncommon exception, though, and the only time from Le Puy to SdC that I didn't have cell service most or all of the day. Same on the Primitivo the year before. Fwiw, if I want to connect from SJPdP to the Norte in the future, I'll take the Voie Nive Bidassoa.

    SJPDP to Bayonne - route map?

    ...Cicerone guide to Via Podensis/Le Puy route has guides to two routes from SJPdP to Hendaye/Irun for Le Puy walkers wanting to continue on Norte. One is the GR10. The other less mountainous route, is the Voie Nive Bidassoa. I have not walked either path, but there is a published guide for them.

    Connecting to Camino del Norte from Saint-Jean-Pied-du-Port

    I arrived in Irun today. The GR10 is a beast, for sure. I didn’t know about an easier alternative other than the Voie Nive Bidassoa. I just followed the trail markings and used a GPS navigation app.

    Connecting to Camino del Norte from Saint-Jean-Pied-du-Port

    ...to go to reach Irun. I underestimated how demanding and technical the GR10 is, especially between Saint-Etienne de Baigorry and Bidarray. It’s hand over hand rock climbing in places. The views are spectacular but you need to be well trained. If I had it to do again, I would take Voie Nive...

    Accommodations and Services on the Le Puy Route

    Hi there What an amazing piece of work. I just got back from the Via Podiensis, and really loved the Wise Pilgrim app - maybe a collaboration? I stayed in a new gite in Maslacq - Chez L. It was hands down my favorite of all the 37? 38? places I stayed. Beatrix was amazing. Here's the website...

    Le Puy to El Norte- Gr10

    An alternative is to take "Voie de la Nive" ("Nive way") in reverse to walk from SJPP to Hendaye/Irun. https://www.aucoeurduchemin.org/voies-jacquaires-dans-les-pyrenees-atlantiques-sud-landes-et-euskadi/voie-nive-bidassoa-st-jean-p-port-hendaye-irun/?lang=en

    Accommodation

    @Leemac40 This thread is very interesting and well written by @Aurigny They don't actually walk the Via Baztan but do spend a night camping in Espelette - in January of this year. There is then an encouraging account of breakfast the next morning!

    On the Camino: One Day at a Time, one Photo at a Time 10.0

    Camino Frances Saint Jean Pied de Port Peppers photo taken October 10, 2011 Named after the town of Espelette, about 35 km NW of SJPdP on the local voie Nive-Bidassoa, red Espelette peppers provide a piquant taste in Basque cooking. Such Chili pepper seeds were introduced to France during...

    Accommodations and Services on the Le Puy Route

    Dave, others: We are considering walking the Cele variant route from west to east, Cahors to Figeac. Does it make sense to aim for the same towns to stop in walking this direction as going east to west, the normal path?

    LIVE from the Camino Walking the Norte Trail: Journey Interrupted and Resumed

    ...than even chance of earning a third candle on its birthday cake. So I thought it advisable to follow up my completion of the Voie Nive Bidassoa with a few days spent in making inroads on the Norte. I have to be back at work soon, but if I can get anywhere west of Bilbao on this occasion, I'll...

    LIVE from the Camino Pilgrimage through the Voie Nive Bidassoa: A Winter Adventure

    In 2018, continuing our walk from Geneva to SdC, we too, walked the Voie Nive-Bidassoa. The staff at the Pilgrims Office have a detailed fact sheet with maps. I had found the information previously here...

    LIVE from the Camino Pilgrimage through the Voie Nive Bidassoa: A Winter Adventure

    ...small change of plan is in order. The GR 10 not being suitable for winter travel, I'm going to try the low-level alternative, the Voie Nive Bidassoa, and pick up the Norte at its starting-point as previously intended. I'm also coming a little better equipped than I was on the last section of...

    New Cicerone Guidebook on the Via Podiensis

    Looking forward to picking your book I ordered….it awaits me at the Shakespeare and Company bookstore in Paris (spending a few days there before beginning my walk on Aug. 7th). The store was wonderful in ordering the book for me, as it would not have arrived in Canada prior to my departure...
