I too like Jean-Jacques and the others in Orisson. I’m always pleased to go back thereI have driven the Valcarlos route many times but admit I enjoy the company of Jean Jacques and his entourage to start my journey and I have met some very interesting people at Orisson who I still stay in touch with.
Hi I have a quick question about the first day. I have done the CF twice. I will be doing it again starting in late October. Is the hill up to Orisson steeper than the hill on the Valcarlos route or is it 6 of one half a dozen of the other. Even if the Napolean and Orisson are open then I may still opt to try the other way. Walk to Valcarlos and then to Espinal. I like to start my caminos now with shorter distances the first few days as my age gets longer, if you know what I mean. Haha.Same, or similar, for me Don. Except I head for Valcarlos. I like to start that camino without a panting throng and with a second day that takes me well past Roncesvalles. I embrace misanthropy more as a hobby than a life-style but I do like a quiet life while my feet, legs, pack and I get reacquainted
Rick of Rick and Peg have recently posted the comparison of the profiles on another threads titled Which Route from SJP. The start of the Napoleon is the steepest part of the two but the end of the Valcarlos is almost as steep. So 6 of one is an apt comparison.Hi I have a quick question about the first day.

Curious about “other than Beilari” send me a message if you want or here.Please suggest albuergues in St John Pied de Perre other than Belari please. Thx.
Actually, I really enjoy Saint Jean. It´s certainly not a metropolis or a tiny village, but there is so much Basque history, wine, cheese, food and culture there. For what it´s worth!!Really looking forward to a day or two in SJPdP before heading into Spain. Yea, tons of tourists, so I read, but there’s the opportunity to learn a little about local culture and the interesting wines of Irouléguy...The warm welcome from Joselu & Jakline at Beilari seems an auspicious start to our long journey.
