Thank you for all your knowledge and experiences you all share.

I have no idea why; but as I plan my Camino, I have heard the call for me to pay close attention to where the River Pau crosses the Chemin du St Jacque.

Please, if anyone knows the name of the town or village there I would TRULY appreciate your help

Buen Camino

It looks like Argagnon just before Maslacq.

Sorry. I gave you the Le Puy route crossing.

assuming you mean the Gave de Pau, either Peyrehorade or just N of St Cricq du Gave, depending on which variant you take

I don't know where exactly the ferry in medieval times was that the Codex Calixtinus text complains about, if that's what you're referring to.

The rivers draining the Pyrenees are called Gaves and most of them run into the Gave de Pau.
It could be at Peyrehorade, a small town at the junction of the Gaves de Pau and d'Oloron.
I walked that way in 2004 when we started in Paris and walked the Via Turonensis to Spain.
