Albergue in St. Jean with tweens.

[Marianjhart]

Hello! I’m so excited to say that I’m going on pilgrimage again starting June 1st in SJPP. This time, I’m bringing my twin 12-year-olds with me and I’m excited to share this special experience with them. I have been thinking about it since my last Camino!

I went to reserve an albergue for our first night and saw that Beilari is already booked up. This is where I stayed last time and I loved it. Since it is unavailable, I am looking for recommendations for another SJPP albergue that would be especially good for my kids and I.

Thank you.

Gite Makila, which is near to the Pilgrim Office in St Jean is my favorite. Plus, they do have private rooms as well as dorm style.

We stayedvat the Gite Bidean back in 2019. Both private rooms and dorms. A very nice albergue right in the heart of SJPP. Enjoyed a good pilgrim’s dinner there as well. Enjoy your camino with your kids. I’m planning on walking the Primitivo with my 13 year old grandson in August.

I second the recommendation for Gite Bidean.

The Bidean, my favorite, near the clock tower. Joe and Pascal are the absolute best hosts. Joe, the chef prepares a tasty and generous meal. The conviviality is great. And if you don't have a place to stay the next night, you can walk to Orisson and return for a second night. The next morning, you take a shuttle to Orisson where you can start again fromt there. It is otherwise quite a long stretch from St-Jean to Roncesvalles for the first day... Buen Camino.

I have not stayed there but I know people who really love it. Beilari is one of the all time, all time albergues on any camino.
